Here, we develop a rapidly annealed hematite photoanode with a photocurrent density of 2.83 mA cm^(-2)at 1.7 VRHEto drive the full-reaction. We also present Cu-alloys electrocatalysis extended from CuInSnS4, which are superior in both activity and selectivity for CO_(2)RR. Specifically, the screened CuInSn achieves a CO_(2)to HCOOH Faradaic efficiency of 93% at a cell voltage of-2.0 V by assembling into artificial photosynthesis cell. The stability test of IT exhibits less than 3% degradation over 24 h. Furthermore, in-situ Raman spectroscopy reveals that both CO_(3)^(-2)and CO_(2)are involved in CO_(2)RR as reactants. The preferential affinity of C for H in the ^(*)HCO_(2)intermediate enables an improved HCOOH-selectivity, highlighting the role of multifunctional Cu in reducing the cell voltage and enhancing the photocurrent density.展开更多
