Electrocatalytic reduction of CO to fuels and chemicals is one of the most attractive routes for CO utilization. Current catalysts suffer from low faradaic efficiency of a CO -reduction product at high current density (or reaction rate). Here, we report that a sulfur-doped indium catalyst exhibits h...
