Electrocatalytic CO2 conversion has been considered as a promising way to recycle CO2 and produce sustainable fuels and chems. However, the efficient and highly selective electrochem. reduction of CO2 directly into multi-carbon (C2+) products remains a great challenge. Herein, we synthesized three type catalysts with different morphologies based on Cu2O nanowires, and studied their morphol. and crystal facet reconstruction during the pre-reduction process. Benefiting from abundant exposure of Cu (100) crystal facet, the nanosheet structure derived Cu catalyst showed a high faradaic efficiency (FE) of 67.5% for C2+ products. Addnl., electrocatalytic CO2 reduction studies were carried out on Cu(100), Cu(110), and Cu(111) single crystal electrodes, which verified that Cu(100) crystal facets are favorable for the C2+ products in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction Our work showed that catalysts would reconstruct during the CO2 reduction process and the importance in morphol. and crystal facet control to obtain desired products. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Cuprichydroxide (cas: 20427-59-2Computed Properties of CuH2O2).
Cuprichydroxide (cas: 20427-59-2) belongs to copper catalysts. The applications of Copper-based nanoparticles have received great attention due to the earth-abundant, low toxicity and inexpensive. The copper-mediated C-C, C-O, C-N, and C-S bond formation is a part of one oldest reaction, emphasizing the Ullmann cross-coupling reaction.Computed Properties of CuH2O2
