CO2 fixation into carbon nanofibres using electrochemical–thermochemical tandem catalysis

Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation into value-added solid carbon such as carbon nanofibres (CNF) for longer-term storage represents a promising avenue for achieving net-negative carbon emissions. However, directly converting CO2 to CNF via thermocatalytic approaches faces thermodynamic constraints, while electrocatalytic methods typically lead to amorphous carbon with limited yields or require energy-intensive conditions (>720 °C). Here, we present an electrocatalytic–thermocatalytic tandem strategy for CNF production, which circumvents the aforementioned thermodynamic limitations by integrating the co-electrolysis of CO2 and water into syngas (CO and H2) with a subsequent thermochemical process at relatively mild conditions (370–450 °C, 1 atm), yielding CNF at a high production rate (average 2.5 gcarbon gmetals−1 h−1). The optimal coordinated actions of FeCo alloy and extra metallic Co were ascertained to enhance the dissociative activation of syngas and favour the carbon–carbon bond formation to produce CNF. This tandem strategy opens a door to leverage renewable energy for decarbonizing CO2 into valuable solid carbon products while producing renewable H2.
