The potential-dependent C-C coupling mechanism for C-2 formation in the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 has been studied on several defective Cu(100) surfaces, revealing a nonmonotonic trend between effective free energy barriers and average coordination numbers. Further structural analysis indicates that Cu surface strain in parallel and vertical directions with respect to the C-C bond has distinct impacts on modulating the barriers.
