The electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR), driven by renewable energy, is a promising strategy to reduce CO 2 accumulation. By converting CO 2 into products of higher value, a closed-loop carbon economy begins to emerge. An open-access paper on the work is published in Nature Communications.
