Structural Reconstruction of Cu₂ O Superparticles toward Electrocatalytic CO₂ Reduction with High C₂₊ Products Selectivity.

ABSTRACT: Structural reconstruction is a process commonly observed for Cu-based catalysts in electrochemical CO₂ reduction. The Cu-based precatalysts with structural complexity often undergo sophisticated structural reconstruction processes, which may offer opportunities for enhancing the electrosynthesis of multicarbon products (C₂₊ products) but remain largely uncertain due to various new structural features possibly arising during the processes. In this work, the Cu₂ O superparticles with an assembly structure are demonstrated to undergo complicated structure evolution under electrochemical reduction condition, enabling highly selective CO₂ -to-C₂₊ products conversion in electrocatalysis.
