High efficiency and low-cost catalyst-driven electrocatalytic CO₂ reduction to CO production are of great significance for energy storage and development. The severe competitive hydrogen evolution reaction occurs at large negative potential window limits the achievement of the target product from CO₂ at high efficiency. Here, we successfully prepared Cu_x/CdCO₃ composite catalyst rich in interfaces, in which achieved high CO Faraday efficiency exceeded 90% in a wide potential window of 700 mV and highest value up to 97.9% at −0.90 V vs. RHE. The excellent performance can be ascribed to the positive contribution of Cu_x/CdCO₃, which maintains a suitable high local pH value during electrochemical reduction, thus inhibiting the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction. Moreover, the compact structure between Cu and CdCO₃ ensures fast electron transfer both inside catalysts and interface, thus speeding up the reaction kinetics of CO₂ to CO conversion. Theoretically calculations further prove that the combination of Cu and CdCO₃ provides the well-defined electronic structure for intermediates adsorption, significantly reducing the reaction barrier for the formation of CO. This work provides new insights into the design of efficient electrochemical CO₂ reduction catalysts for inhibiting hydrogen evolution by adjusting the local pH effect.
