The development of high-performance electrochemical materials plays an important role in CO 2 reduction efficiency and cost effectiveness. In this work, nitrogen doped porous carbon matrix was designed and fabricated from zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-8). Pyrolysis temperature was investigated to achieve the best performance to convert CO 2 into CO. The suitable temperature is 700 °C which could make the catalyst containing good conductivity and activity. The highest Faradaic efficiency of CO is close to 25% at potential of -1.0 V.
