Electrochemical conversion of CO₂ into fuel has been regarded as a promising approach to achieve the global carbon cycle. Herein, we report an efficient cobalt catalyst with a unique flower-like morphology synthesized by a green and facile hydrothermal method, in which n-butylamine is used as the capping agent. The resultant catalyst shows superior electrocatalytic activity toward CO₂ electroreduction, which is highly selective for generating formate with a Faraday efficiency of 63.4%. Electrochemical analysis reveals that the oxide on the surface is essential for the electrocatalysis of the CO₂ reduction reaction. Cyclic voltammograms further suggest that this catalyst is highly active for the oxidation of reduced product, and can thus be seen as a bifunctional catalyst.
