An overview of Cu-based heterogeneous electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction (2020)
Journal Article
Zhao, J., Xue, S., Barber, J., Zhou, Y., Meng, J., & Ke, X. (2020). An overview of Cu-based heterogeneous electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, 8(9), 4700-4734. https://doi.org/10.1039/c9ta11778d

The electrochemical (EC) reduction of CO2 is a promising approach for value-added fuel or chemical production. Cu-based electrodes have been extensively used as a ‘star’ material for CO2 reduction to hydrocarbons. This review mainly focuses on the re...
