Reducing the size of heterogeneous nanocatalysts is generally conducive to improving their atomic utilization and activities in various catalytic reactions. However, this strategy has proven less effective for Cu-based electrocatalysts for the reduction of CO 2 to multicarbon (C 2+ ) products, owing...
