The purpose of this study was to explore the application of carbon nanomaterials in the electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide. The results show that the larger the specific surface area of carbon materials, the more active sites are provided, which is conducive to the reduction of carbon dioxide. In addition, the doping of nitrogen can improve the selectivity of carbon materials in the electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide, and the higher the nitrogen content, the more beneficial the carbon material is to reduce carbon dioxide to methane. In addition, in a certain temperature range, the graphitized nitrogen generated by high temperature carbonization can improve the selectivity of the material to methane. These results provide important theoretical basis and experimental guidance for the application of carbon nanomaterials in carbon dioxide electrocatalytic reduction.
