摘要
Electrochemical reduction of CO_(2)(ECO_(2)RR)into value-added fuels and chemicals presents a promising avenue for mitigating CO_(2) emissions while simultaneously contributing to economic growth,thereby addressing critical environmental and energy challenges.However,the large-scale implementation of ECO_(2)RR is significantly impeded by the necessity to design efficient catalysts that exhibit both high activity and selectivity.These catalysts must overcome the sluggish kinetics associated with ECO_(2)RR as well as the competing hydrogen evolution reaction.In recent decades,electrospun nanofibers have garnered considerable attention as potential catalysts for ECO_(2)RR,attributable to their high surface area with abundant active sites,tunable functionalities,and enhanced selectivity.This review comprehensively examines the rational design of ECO_(2)RR catalysts utilizing electrospinning technology.We commence with an in-depth exploration of the principles underlying the electrospinning process and subsequently summarize key factors influencing this process,including solution parameters,environmental conditions,and electrospinning operational parameters.Moreover,we discuss recent advancements in ECO_(2)RR catalysts synthesized through electrospinning,encompassing carbon nanofibers,composite nanofibers,and metal nanofibers.Finally,we delineate future perspectives and the challenges that electrospun materials face in the context of ECO_(2)RR applications.This review aims to inspire high-quality research directed toward the advancement of electrospun materials for improved performance in ECO_(2)RR.
