abstract = {SnO2 nanoparticles have frequently been reported as
effective electrocatalysts for CO2 electroreduction to
formate. However, in the literature, there is little
knowledge of SnO2 nanoparticles that guarantee superior
electrocatalytic performance. Hence, in this study, several
SnO2 nanoparticles are compared with respect to their
material properties, and correlations to the
electrocatalytic performance are established. For
comparison, three custom-made SnO2-electrocatalysts were
prepared, reproducing frequently cited procedures in
literature. Based on the comparison, it is found that
hydrothermal, sol-gel, and solid-state synthesis provide
quite different electrocatalysts, particularly in terms of
the particle size and crystal lattice defect structure.
Desirably small nanoparticles with a comparatively high
number of lattice defects are found for the nanoparticles
prepared by hydrothermal synthesis, which also provide the
best electrocatalytic performance in terms of Faradaic
efficiency for the electroreduction of CO2 to formate.
However, despite the considerably smaller surface area, the
commercial reference also provides significant
electrocatalytic performance, e.g., in terms of the overall
produced amount of formate, which suggests a surprisingly
high surface area-specific activity for this material that
is low on defects. Thus, defects do not appear to be the
preferred reaction site for the CO2 electroreduction to
formate on SnO2 in this case.},
