Abstract

Read online

Metal-organic frameworks are promising catalysts for CO2 electroreduction, yet limited by their poor conductivity and stability. Here, Au nanoneedles are inserted into the metalloporphyrin framework to activate C-C coupling and stabilize the structure for much enhanced ethylene production.
