Sulfur‐Bridged Asymmetric CuNi Bimetallic Atom Sites for CO2 Reduction with High Efficiency

Double-atom catalysts (DACs) with asymmetric coordination are crucial for enhancing the benefits of electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction and advancing sustainable development, however, the rational design of DACs is still challenging. Herein, this work synthesizes atomically dispersed catalysts with novel sulfur-bridged Cu-S-Ni sites (named Cu-S-Ni/SNC), utilizing biomass wool keratin as precursor. The plentiful disulfide bonds in wool keratin overcome the limitations of traditional gas-phase S ligand etching process and enable the one-step formation of S-bridged sites. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) confirms the existence of bimetallic sites with N
