Abstract:
Promotion of C-C bond coupling in the electrochemical conversion of CO2 to fuels is of great scientific and practical interest. Selective formation of C-2 over the C-1 products, however, is a formidable challenge on all electrocatalysts known in literature. Here, we report the selectivity of CuO-derived porous copper nanoribbon arrays as the electrode to convert CO2 to C-2 products. The C-C bond coupling occurred at electrode potentials <-0.701 V vs. RHE. The total Faradaic efficiency towards the formation of these C-2 compounds (C2H4, C2H6 and C2H5OH) reached to similar to 40% at -0.816 V vs.
