Nanoscale Advance of CO2 Electroreduction
The transformation of CO2 into fuels and chemicals is one promising route to revert global warming, enabling sustainable circular economies. CO2 electroreduction (CO2E) offers a pathway to generate globally used chemicals using renewable electricity. The performance of CO2E towards key chemicals such as ethylene, ethanol (C2) and higher energy-density molecules increasing number of carbon atoms (e.g. C3 and beyond) is today far from its technoeconomic viability. Product selectivity, energy efficiency, stability, and carbon utilization are, when combined at scale, insufficient. Further advances in CO2R performance are precluded by the yet limited understanding of reaction pathways,…
