Solid oxide carbon dioxide electrolysers are expected to play a key role in carbon-neutral energy landscape.However,the limited activity of traditional ceramic cathodes still restricts the electrochemical performance.Here we report the doping of Mn at the B site of SrFeO3-δ cathode to improve CO2 electrolysis.The oxygen vacancy concentration is increased by ~30% with Mn doping while the surface oxygen exchange coefficients are enhanced by ~10 times.The chemisorption of CO2 indicates the presence of chemical intermediate state between CO2 molecule and carbonate ion on the oxygen-deficient cathode surface which therefore leads to the desorption temperature of~800 ℃.The Mn-doped SrFeO3-δ enhances CO2 electrolysis with no performance degradation being observed even after high-temperature operation of 100 hours.
