Electrochemical CO2 reduction to ethylene by ultrathin CuO nanoplate arrays
Open accessAbstract
Electrochemical reduction of CO 2 to multi-carbon fuels and chemical feedstocks is an appealing approach to mitigate excessive CO 2 emissions. However, the reported catalysts always show either a low Faradaic efficiency of the C 2+ product or poor long-term stability. Herein, we report a facile and scalable anodic corrosion method to synthesize oxygen-rich ultrathin CuO nanoplate arrays, which form Cu/Cu 2 O heterogeneous interfaces through self-evolution during electrocatalysis. The catalyst exhibits a high C 2 H 4 Faradaic efficiency of 84.5%, stable electrolysis for ~55 h in a flow cell using a neutral KCl electrolyte, and a full-cell ethylene energy efficiency of 27.6% at 200 mA cm−2 in a membrane electrode assembly electrolyzer. Mechanism analyses reveal that the stable nanostructures, stable Cu/Cu 2 O interfaces, and enhanced adsorption of the *OCCOH intermediate preserve selective and prolonged C 2 H 4 production. The robust and scalable produced catalyst coupled with mild electrolytic conditions facilitates the practical application of electrochemical CO 2 reduction.

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.
