Gold nanoparticles functionalized with a chelating tetradentate porphyrin ligand exhibit significantly improved catalytic activity and stability for electrochemical CO2 reduction. The inherent structural and electronic tunability of these nanoparticles offers an unrivaled degree of control over their reactivity.
Abstract
Capped chelating organic molecules are presented as a design principle for tuning heterogeneous nanoparticles for electrochemical catalysis. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized with a chelating tetradentate porphyrin ligand show a 110-fold enhancement compared to the oleylamine-coated AuNP in current density for electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO in water at an overpotential of 340 mV with Faradaic efficiencies (FEs) of 93 %. These catalysts also show excellent stability without deactivation (<5 % productivity loss) within 72 hours of electrolysis. DFT calculation results further confirm the chelation effect in stabilizing molecule/NP interface and tailoring catalytic activity. This general approach is thus anticipated to be complementary to current NP catalyst design approaches.
