Cu/Cu2O nanocrystals for electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction to multi-carbon products†
Abstract
We demonstrate the electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide into multi-carbon products catalyzed by Cu/Cu2O nanocrystals, with a maximum C2+ faradaic efficiency of 75% in 0.10 M K2SO4 aqueous solution at −2.0 V versus Ag/AgCl and a partial current density of 34 mA cm−2.
