Gold-in-copper at low *CO coverage enables efficient electromethanation of CO2

The electroreduction of CO2 offers a promising approach to produce carbon-neutral methane using renewable electricity. This study shows that the introduction of Au in Cu enables selective methane production from CO2 by regulating *CO availability.
