Electrochemical Reduction of CO2 to C2+ Products Using Copper-Based Catalysts

As the destructive carbon cycle is blamed for global warming, the feasible electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2RR) to form valuable C2+ hydrocarbons and feedstocks has become a hot topic. In this regard, copper-based catalysts have proven to be excellent choices for producing high-energy value-added products through CO2RR. However, the selectivity for C2+ products achieved … Read more

Efficient Low-Coordination Copper-Based Catalysts for Selective CO2 Reduction to Ethylene

According to previous literature, the C-C coupling step in the CO2RR reaction is widely considered to be the core for producing C2 products, especially ethylene. Therefore, adjusting the spatial configuration of Cu to modulate the adsorption of *CO, thereby facilitating CO-CO coupling, is regarded as an effective method to promote ethylene production.The strong adsorption of … Read more
