Electrocatalytic acetylene semi-hydrogenation (EASH) offers a promising and environmentally friendly pathway for the production of C2H4, a widely used petrochemical feedstock. While the economic feasibility of this route has been demonstrated in three-electrode systems, its viability in practical de...
