Abstract

AbstractMetal‐organic framework catalysts bring new opportunities for CO2 electrocatalysis. Herein, we first conduct density‐functional theory calculations and predict that Co‐based porphyrin porous organic layers (Co‐PPOLs) exhibit good activity for CO2 conversion because of the low *CO adsorption energy at Co‐N4 sites, which facilitates *CO desorption and CO formation. Then, we prepare two‐dimensional Co‐PPOLs with exclusive Co‐N4 sites through a facile surfactant‐assisted bottom‐up method. The ultrathin feature ensures the exposure of catalytic centers. Together with large specific area, high electrical conductivity and CO2 adsorption capability, Co‐PPOLs achieve a peak faradaic efficiency for CO production (FECO=94.2 %) at a moderate potential in CO2 electroreduction, accompanied with good stability. Moreover, Co‐PPOLs reach an industrial‐level current above 200 mA in a membrane electrode assembly reactor, and maintain near‐unity CO selectivity (FECO>90 %) over 20 h in CO2 electrolysis.
