Electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction has been developed as a promising and attractive strategy to achieve carbon neutrality for sustainable chemical production. Among various reduction products, multi-carbon (C 2+ ) compounds with higher energy density are desirable value-added products. Herein, we revie...
