摘      要：The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide(CO_(2))into value‐added fuels and chemicals presents a sustainable route to alleviate CO_(2) emissions,promote carbon‐neutral cycles and reduce the dependence on fossil *** the thermodynamic stability of the CO_(2) molecule and sluggish reaction kinetics,it is still a challenge to design highly efficient electrocatalysts for the CO_(2) reduction reaction(CO_(2)RR).It has been found that the surface and interface chemistry of electrocatalysts can modulate the electronic structure and increase the active sites,which is favorable for CO_(2) adsorption,electron transfer,mass transport,and optimizing adsorption strength of reaction ***,the effect of surface and interface chemistry on metal‐free electrocatalysts(MFEs)for CO_(2)RR has not been comprehensively ***,we discuss the importance of the surface and interface chemistry on MFEs for improving the electrochemical CO_(2)RR performance based on thermodynamic and kinetic *** fundamentals and challenges of CO_(2)RR are firstly ***,the recent advances of the surface and interface chemistry in improving reaction rate and overcoming reaction constraints are reviewed from regulating electronic structure,active sites,electron transfer,mass transport,and intermediate binding ***,the research challenges and prospects are proposed to suggest the future designs of advanced MFEs in CO_(2)RR.
