Metal foam electrodes are promising for efficient CO2 reduction, but detailed characterizations of the foams at the macro and nanoscale are lacking. Here, the authors combine physicochemical and microscopic techniques in conjunction with electrochemical analyses to relate the morphologies of silver foam electrodes to their CO2 reduction performance.
