Efficient upgrading of CO to C3 fuel using asymmetric C-C coupling active sites

Catalysts for CO electroreduction have focused on Cu, and their main products have been C2 chemicals. Here authors use the concept of asymmetric active sites to develop a class of doped Cu catalysts for C-C coupling, delivering record selectivity to n-propanol.
