Cu/Cu₂O Interconnected Porous Aerogel Catalyst for Highly Productive Electrosynthesis of Ethanol from CO₂

Use of Cu and Cu + is one of the most promising approaches for the production of C 2 products by the electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) because it can facilitate CO 2 activation and CC dimerization. However, the selective electrosynthesis of C 2+ products on Cu 0 Cu + interfaces is critically limited due to the low electrocatalytic production of ethanol relative to ethylene. In this study, a novel porous Cu/Cu 2 O aerogel...
