Electrochemical reduction of CO2 into value‐added chemicals provides a promising approach to mitigate climate change caused by CO2 from excess consumption of fossil fuels. As the CO2 molecule is chemically inert and the reaction kinetics is sluggish, efficient electrocatalysts are thus highly requir...
