Carbon dioxide electroreduction to C2 products over copper-cuprous oxide derived from electrosynthesized copper complex

Electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide is attractive for obtaining multicarbon products, but conversion efficiency is low. Here the authors use copper complex materials for electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to ethanol and acetic acid with high efficiencies and activities.
