Electrocatalytic CO₂ reduction (CO₂ER) into formate is a desirable route to achieve efficient transformation of CO₂ to value-added chemicals, however, it still suffers from limited catalytic activity and poor selectivity. Herein, we develop a hybrid electrocatalyst composed of bismuth and bismuth oxide nanoparticles (NPs) supported on nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (Bi/Bi₂O₃/NrGO) nanosheets prepared by a combined hydrothermal with calcination treatment. Thanks to the combination of undercoordinated sites and strong synergistic effect between Bi and Bi₂O₃, Bi/Bi₂O₃/NrGO-700 hybrid displays a promoted CO₂ER catalytic performance and selectivity for formate production, as featured by a small onset potential of -0.5 V, a high current density of -18 mA/cm², the maximum Faradaic efficiency of 85% at -0.9 V, and a low Tafel slope of 166 mV/dec. Experimental results reveal that the higher CO₂ER performance of Bi/Bi₂O₃/NrGO-700 than that of Bi NPs supported on NrGO (Bi/NrGO) can be due to the partial reduction of Bi₂O₃ NPs into Bi, which significantly increases undercoordinated active sites on Bi NPs surface, thus boosting its CO₂ER performance. Furthermore, a two-electrode device with Ir/C anode and Bi/Bi₂O₃/NrGO-700 cathode could be integrated with two alkaline batteries or a planar solar cell to achieve highly active water splitting and CO₂ER.
