The renewable-electricity-driven CO2 reduction to formic acid would contribute to establishing a carbon-neutral society. The current catalyst suffers from limited activity and stability under high selectivity and the ambiguous nature of active sites. Herein, we report a powerful Bi2 S3 -derived catalyst that demonstrates a current density of 2.0â
A cm-2 with a formate Faradaic efficiency of 93 % at -0.95â
V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode. The energy conversion efficiency and single-pass yield of formate reach 80 % and 67 %, respectively, and the durability reaches 100â
h at an industrial-relevant current density. Pure formic acid with a concentration of 3.5â
mol L-1 has been produced continuously. Our operando spectroscopic and theoretical studies reveal the dynamic evolution of the catalyst into a nanocomposite composed of Bi0 clusters and Bi2 O2 CO3 nanosheets and the pivotal role of Bi0 -Bi2 O2 CO3 interface in CO2 activation and conversion.
