Ultrathin bismuth nanosheets from in situ topotactic transformation for selective electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to formate

The electroreduction of carbon dioxide to liquid products provides an appealing method to convert atmospheric carbon into valuable fuels. Here, the authors perform a topotactic transformation of bismuth oxyiodide to bismuth nanosheets that act as highly selective CO2-to-formate electrocatalysts.
