SnBi alloy was prepared by the two-step electrodeposition method. Sn was first electrodeposited on the carbon cloth (CC). Since the electrolyte used in the second step was acidic, Sn was dissolved in the electrolyte to form a small amount of Sn²⁺. As a result, SnBi alloy dendrites formed by doping a small amount of Sn with Bi. Subsequently, SnBi alloy dendrites were transformed into SnBi alloy nanoparticles (NPs) by in-situ chemical oxidation and electrochemical reduction. Thanks to the nucleation sites provided by Sn, SnBi dendrites grow densely and uniformly on the CC, providing a high-quality precursor and finally achieving SnBi nanoparticles with a diameter of about 20 nm through two-step transformation. CC/Sn/SnBi NPs electrode exhibited 94.9% formate selectivity and current density up to 36 mA·cm^-2 at -1.08 V (vs RHE), showing high activity of electrocatalytic reduction of CO₂ with the continuous 12 h stability.
