Conversion of CO2 and water into syngas (H2/CO mixture) by electrolysis process offers a facile pathway to the production of various chemicals and liquid fuels utilizing renewable resources. Rationale design of electrocatalysts is of great importance to achieve high efficiency, durability operation and control of product selectivity. In this presentation, several topics will be discussed in detail, including developing molecular and metallic catalysts for CO2 reduction to reduce cathode overpotential and control CO/H2 ratio, design and improvement of complex oxide-based water oxidation catalysts in neutral pH and finally coupling the CO2 reduction and water oxidation catalysts in a complete electrolytic cell to demonstrate the feasibility to achieve super high solar-to-fuel conversion efficiency.
