▎ 摘  要

We report the synthesis offac-M(4-amino-bipy) (CO)(3)X (M = Mn and X = Br or M = Re and X = Cl, with bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine), their immobilization on graphene oxide (GrO) via diazonium grafting, and the use of Re-functionalized GrO for electrocatalytic syngas production. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy, X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy, and electrocatalysis indicated successful grafting of the Re catalyst onto GrO. Re-functionalized GrO was then deposited onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for CO2 reduction. Investigation of the Re-functionalized GCE for syngas production was performed in a CO2-saturated acetonitrile solution with 3.1 M H2O as the proton source and 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF(6)) as the supporting electrolyte. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), controlled potential electrolysis (CPE), and gas chromatography (GC) were employed to determine its CO2-to-CO conversion performance. The Re catalyst shows a turnover frequency (TOF) for generating CO up to 4.44 s(-1) with a CO/H-2 ratio of 7:5.
