Deskripsi

Carbon dioxide can be electrochemically reduced to form valuable chemical feedstocks, but efficiency of electrocatalysts should be improved. Here the authors report nanotube-derived bismuth for electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to formate, with performance that is enhanced by defects.
