Abstract

Read online

Copper-based materials can convert carbon dioxide into multi-carbon products but suffer from poor activity and selectivity. Here, the authors report CuO clusters supported on nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets for the reduction CO2-to-ethanol, and investigate the change in the catalytic sites while in operation.
