Researchers demonstrate efficient electrochemical reduction of CO2 to C2+ alcohols

Green Car Congress

Here, we demonstrated a rational strategy to synthesize the Cu catalyst under a CO-rich environment to induce the growth of defect-rich sites that are best for the adsorption of CO. A and B) Cu-DS catalyst synthesized under a CO-rich environment favors high coverage of *CO intermediate and promotes alcohol production. (D
