Surface Modification of Nano-Cu2O for Controlling CO2 Electrochemical Reduction to Ethylene and Syngas

Haiqiang Luo et al.

Summary: In this study, a systematic strategy is proposed to control the product selectivity of the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (ECO2RR) by modifying the surface of nano-Cu2O. By controlling the exposed facets of the nano-Cu2O catalysts and introducing a metal-organic framework (MOF) coating, the highest C2H4 selectivity and a suitable H-2:CO ratio of syngas can be achieved. This strategy provides a reliable method for CO2 management and the green production of important carbon resources.
