Copper (Cu) is considered to be the most effective catalyst for electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added hydrocarbons, but its stability still faces considerable challenge. Here, we report the poisoning effect of carbon deposition during CO2 reduction on the active sites o...
