Ultrasound-boosted selectivity of CO in CO2 electrochemical reduction

Among the possible products of CO2 electrochemical reduction, CO plays a unique and vital role, which can be an ideal feedstock for further reduction to C2+ products, and also the important component of syngas that can be used as feedstock for value-added chemicals and fuels. However, it is still a...
