Electrocatalysis of CO 2 reduction reaction is an effective way to convert CO 2 into high value-added products, but the selectivity of Cu-based catalysts for C 2+ products needs to be improved due to the high energy barrier of C–C coupling. Therefore, a viable catalyst design strategy to decrease en...
