Leveraging the interplay between the metal component and the supporting material represents a cornerstone strategy for augmenting electrocatalytic efficiency, e.g., electrocatalytic CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR). Herein, we employ freestanding porous carbon fibers (PCNF) as an efficacious and stable support for the uniformly distributed SnO₂ nanoparticles (SnO₂PCNF), thereby capitalizing on the synergistic support effect that arises from their strong interaction. On one hand, the interaction between the SnO₂ nanoparticles and the carbon support optimizes the electronic configuration of the active centers. This interaction leads to a noteworthy shift of the d-band center toward stronger intermediate adsorption energy, consequently lowering the energy barrier associated with CO₂ reduction. As a result, the SnO₂PCNF realizes a remarkable CO₂RR performance with excellent selectivity towards formate (98.1%). On the other hand, the porous carbon fibers enable the uniform and stable dispersion of SnO₂ nanoparticles, and this superior porous structure of carbon supports can also facilitate the exposure of the SnO₂ nanoparticles on the reaction interface to a great extent. Consequently, adequate contact between active sites, reactants, and electrolytes can significantly increase the metal utilization, eventually bringing forth a remarkable 7.09 A/mg mass activity. This work might provide a useful idea for improving the utilization rate of metals in numerous electrocatalytic reactions.
