Abstract:
Global warming due to greenhouse gases (GHGs), mainly CO 2 , has become a serious concern globally. Accordingly, electrocatalytic CO 2 conversion provides an environment-friendly approach to reduce CO 2 emissions and achieve carbon neutrality. Copper (Cu) is one of the few metal catalysts that can convert CO 2 to high-value multi-carbon products (C 2+ ), and thus has received significant attention. In this review, we discuss the manipulation strategies to promote C–C coupling to form C 2+ from the intermediate product CO* in terms of adsorption capability and configuration, surface coverage, and re-coupling efficiency on copper-based catalysts. In addition, some advanced characterization techniques to investigate the mechanism of C–C coupling in the CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) are summarized. Finally, the outlooks and future development directions of CO 2 RR are highlighted.
