The nature of active sites for carbon dioxide electroreduction over oxide-derived copper catalysts

The active sites over oxide-derived copper (OD-Cu) catalysts for CO2 electroreduction are unclear. Here, the authors show atom-level product-specific active sites on OD-Cu surface models, where planar and convex square sites are responsible for ethylene while the step square site favours alcohols ge...
