A Conductive Dinuclear Cuprous Complex Mimicking the Active Edge Site of the Copper(100)/(111) Plane for Selective Electroreduction of CO2 to C2H4 at Industrial Current Density.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Inorganic solids are a kind of important catalysts, and their activities usually come from sparse active sites, which are structurally different from inactive bulk. Therefore, the rational optimization of activity depends on studying these active sites. Copper is a widely used catalyst and is expected to be a promising catalyst for the electroreduction of CO2 to C2H4. Here, we report a conductive dinuclear cuprous complex with a short Cu···Cu contact for the electroreduction of CO2 to C2H4. By using 1H-[1,10]phenanthrolin-2-one and Cu(I) ions, a dinuclear cuprous complex [Cu2(ophen)2] (Cuophen) with a remarkable conductivity (3.9 × 10-4 S m-1) and a short intramolecular Cu··
