Deskripsi

Attaining high selectivity for CO2 electroreduction in acid is usually difficult due to competing hydrogen evolution. Here, the authors demonstrate efficient CO2 reduction to multicarbon products in strongly acidic medium (pH ≤ 1) on a porous Cu catalyst by combining confinement and cation effects.
