The electrochemical conversion of CO(2) into liquid fuels is a promising strategy for achieving carbon neutrality. Tin dioxide (SnO(2)) shows a notable ability to electrocatalytically convert CO(2) into formate, though its efficiency is significantly limited by its low catalytic activity. Herein, we construct facet-oriented SnO(2) nanoflowers all standing on a three-dimensional nickel hollow fiber that exhibits superior CO(2)-to-formate electrocatalytic performance. A formate selectivity of 94% and stability of 300 h with a current density of 1.3 A cm(-2) at -1.1 V (vs. reversible hydrogen electrode [RHE]) are attained under ambient conditions. Notably, an extremely high CO(2) single-pass conversion rate of 85% is achieved, outperforming prominent catalysts reported in electrocatalysis. The synergetic combination of the unique nanostructures and their advanced spatial configuration is proposed to be responsible for the facet-oriented SnO(2) with a hierarchical structure, providing fully exposed active sites and facilitating mass and charge transfers. Enhanced mass transfer in the hollow fiber electrode verified by electrochemical measurements and well-retained Sn(4+) species confirmed by in situ spectroscopy synergistically boost the high CO(2) conversion activity. In situ spectroscopy and theoretical calculation results demonstrate that the SnO(2)(101) facet favors âOCHO intermediate formation and âHCOOH desorption, leading to high formate selectivity. This study provides a straightforward approach to the precise fabrication of composite hollow fiber electrodes, enabling highly efficient electrocatalytic reactions with gas molecules.
