The large current density of electrochemical CO₂ reduction towards industrial application is challenging. Herein, without strong acid and reductant, the synthesized BiVO₄ with abundant oxygen vacancies (O_vs) exhibited a high formate Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 97.45% (-0.9 V) and a large partial current density of -45.82 mA/cm² (-1.2 V). The good performance benefits from the reconstruction of BiVO₄ to generate active metal Bi sites, which results in the electron redistribution to boost the OCHO* formation. In flow cells, near industrial current density of 183.94 mA/cm² was achieved, with the FE of formate above 95% from 20 mA/cm² to 180 mA/cm². Our work provides a facily synthesized BiVO₄ precatalyst for CO₂ electroreduction.
