Influence of CuO-derived catalyst morphology on the electrochemical reduction of COâ‚‚ in a flow cell

Converting carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals using electricity is one of the most promising strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote a circular carbon economy. Among the materials investigated as electrocatalysts, copper plays a unique role, as it is the only metal capable of promoting the formation of products containing two or more carbon atoms (C2+), such as ethylene and ethanol, which are of great interest to the chemical industry.
