Controllable concomitant production of CO and H2 (syngas) during electrochemical CO2 reduction reactions (CO2RR) is expected to improve the commercial feasibility of the technology to mitigate CO2 emissions as the generated syngas can be converted into useful chemicals using the commercial Fischer–T...
