Abstract

Herein, we report a catalyst of Fe@NBCT with a high performance in electrocatalytic CO₂ to syngas with tunable H₂/CO ratio. Both in situ synchrotron radiation Fourier transform infrared spectra (SR-FTIR) and density functional theory (DFT) calculation proved that the differing N-doping carbon matrix and Fe nanoclusters (NCs) play dramatic roles in tuning the ratio of syngas during the electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (EC-CO₂RR) process.
