The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), an elegant solution to mitigate the greenhouse effect and produce high‐value feedstock, has significant hurdles in selective production of target products. Herein, a series of Cu‐based hollow spheres is synthesized through the self‐assembly of hydr...
