摘要
Metal single-atom catalysts are promising in electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). The pores and cavities of the supports can promote the exposure of active sites and mass transfer of reactants, hence improve their performance. Here, iron oxalate is added to ZIF-8 and subsequently form hollow carbon nanocages during calcination. The formation mechanism of the hollow structure is studied in depth by controlling variables during synthesis. Kirkendall effect is the main reason for the formation of hollow porous carbon nanocages. The hollow porous carbon nanocages with Fe single atoms exhibit better CO2RR activity and CO selectivity. The diffusion of CO2 facilitated by the mesoporous structure of carbon nanocage results in their superior activity and selectivity. This work has raised an effective strategy for the synthesis of hollow carbon nanomaterials, and provides a feasible pathway for the rational design of electrocatalysts for small molecule activation.
