The substrate-catalyst interaction plays a critical role in steering the pathway of electrochemical CO2 reduction. Here the authors show the crystalline states of copper in reconstructed metal-organic frameworks were induced and stabilized by Ketjen Black conducting support, promoting C2H4 production.
