Defect engineering, especially oxygen vacancies (O-vacancies) introduction into metal oxide materials has been proved to be an effective strategy to manipulate their surface electron exchange processes. However, quantitative investigation of O-vacancies on CO₂ electroreduction still remains rather ambiguous. Herein, a series of nanoporous tin oxide (SnO_x) materials have been prepared by thermal treatment at various temperatures and reaction conditions. The annealing temperature dependent O-vacancies property of the SnO_x was revealed and attributed to the balance tunning of the desorption of oxygen species and the continous oxidation of SnO_x. The as-prepared nanoporous SnO_x with 300℃ treatment was found to be highest O-vacant material and showed an impressive CO₂RR activity and selectivity towards the conversion of CO₂ into formic acid (up to 88.6%), and superior HCOOH incomplete current density to other samples. The ideal performance of the O-vacancies rich SnO_x-300 material can be ascribed to the high delocalized electron density inducing much enhanced adsorption of CO₂ with O binding and benefiting the subsequent reduction with high selectively forming of formic acid.
