With the fast consumption of fossil fuels, the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in the atmosphere has increased considerably, leading to possible irreversible climate changes. The electrochemical reduction of CO 2 (ERCO 2 ) to value-added chemicals and low-carbon fuels is expected to be an ef...
