With the development of science and technology and research on nanotechnology, more and more nanotechnologies are transitioning from theory to practice. In daily life, the term “nanotechnology” is increasingly appearing in the public eye, from news media reports on cutting-edge nanoscience and nanoconcept products to the so-called nanoproducts in major shopping malls. Nanomaterials have a … Read more
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
Electrocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful fuels and chemical feedstocks is an emerging approach to alleviate global warming and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Methanol (CH3OH), as one of the most important and widely used liquid fuels generated through CO2 reduction, is crucial in the chemical industry. In this review, we reveal the … Read more
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
