Abstract

Developing efficient systems for the conversion of carbon dioxide to valuable chemicals using solar power is critical for mitigating climate change and ascertaining the world’s future supply of clean fuels. Here, we introduce a mesoscopic cathode consisting of Cu nanowires decorated with Ag islands, by the reduction of Ag-covered Cu 2 O nanowires prepared via galvanic replacement reaction. This catalyst enables CO 2 reduction to ethylene and other C 2+ products with a faradaic efficiency of 76%. Operando Raman spectroscopy reveals intermediate formation of CO at Ag sites which undergo subsequent spillover and hydrogenation on the Cu nanowires. Our Cu–Ag bimetallic design enables a ∼95% efficient spillover of intermediates from Ag to Cu, delivering an improved activity toward the formation of ethylene and other C 2+ products. We also demonstrate a solar to ethylene conversion efficiency of 4.2% for the photoelectrochemical CO 2 reduction using water as electron and proton donor, and solar power together with perovskite photovoltaics to drive the uphill reaction.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
