Molecular Catalyst Enables CO2 Electroreduction at 650 mA/cm2 CO Partial Current Density The electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO using renewable electricity offers a compelling pathway for greenhouse gas recycling. The two-electron, two-proton process is particularly attractive due to its operational simplicity and scalability, with copper- and silver-based nanomaterials being the most widely studied catalysts as the field approaches industrial maturity. However, achieving the necessary efficiency and stability for practical applications remains a significant challenge. Recently, molecular catalysts immobilized on conductive surfaces with carbon-based inks have emerged as highly tunable hybrid systems capable of remarkable selectivity. In this work, we report that a straightforward cobalt phthalocyanine complex, simply modified with a single trimethylammonium group, delivers outstanding CO2-to-CO conversion rates and selectivity, reaching a Faradaic efficiency of 93% at a total current density of 700 mA/cm2 (jCO = 650 mA/cm2) at neutral pH. Notably, CO selectivity above 90% was sustained for over 42 h at 150 mA/cm2, illustrating the potential of simply designed molecular catalysts for large-scale applications.

Coupling [Bmim]PF6 and Pd NPs Modulated MOF-Based Material for Synergetic Regulating Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with a large number of active sites and high porosity are considered to be good platforms for the carbon dioxide electroreduction reaction (CO2RR) but with confined low conductivity or low efficiency. Here, Pd-[Bmim]PF6/Cu-BTC with exceptional selectivity and electron-transfer ability is elaborately designed by introducing ionic liquids (ILs) into the MOFs. ILs favor promoting the overall current density of the catalysts, and the introduction of Pd atoms combined with O atoms on the catalyst surface reconfigures into strong Pd–O bonds, improving the desorption efficiency of *CO. The unique structure of the catalyst Pd-[Bmim]PF6/Cu-BTC leads to a significant improvement of the C1 product with a high Faraday efficiency (FE) of 99.36%, especially for carbon monoxide (CO) with an FE of 93.18% (−1.1 VRHE). The exceptional performance of the catalyst is verified by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and the reduction of the free energy required by *HOCO as a key intermediate for CO production was only 0.12 eV, providing new insights to improve the electrocatalytic performance of MOF-based materials for the CO2RR. In this research, an effective and promising strategy that configures active sites by larger current density is proposed to enhance the efficiency of the CO2RR.
