Abstract

We employed a Lewis acid doping strategy to create stable In/In2O3 interfaces and oxygen vacancies during the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2, thereby enhancing the selectivity of formate. The optimized catalyst achieves a high faradaic efficiency for formate (exceeding 90%), across a broad range of potentials.
