Abstract:Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to produce chemicals and fuels is a promising strategy to achieve carbon neutrality. However, due to the slow C─C coupling kinetics and the fact that C2H5OH and C2H4 products share the same *HCCOH intermediate, achieving high activity and selectivity for C2H5OH remains challenging. This paper describes an atmosphere‐induced reconstruction method to optimize the surface composition and coordination structure of the CuxZny bimetallic alloy catalysts for C2H5OH produ… Show more
