Electrochemical Reduction of CO₂ to C1 and C2 Liquid Products on Copper-Decorated Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanosheets.

ABSTRACT: Due to the significant rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentration and its detrimental environmental effects, the electrochemical CO₂ conversion to valuable liquid products has received great interest. In this work, the copper-melamine complex was used to synthesize copper-based electrocatalysts comprising copper nanoparticles decorating thin layers of nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets (Cu/NC). The as-prepared electrocatalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDX, and TEM and investigated in the electrochemical CO₂ reduction reaction (ECO₂RR) to useful liquid products. The electrochemical CO₂ reduction reaction was carried out in two compartments of an electrochemical H-Cell, using 0.5 M potassium bicarbonate (KHCO₃
