Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide is a sustainable way of producing carbon-neutral fuels. Here, the authors take a combined nanoscale and molecular approach to develop a highly active and selective cobalt phthalocyanine/carbon nanotube hybrid electrocatalyst for carbon dioxide reduction to carbon monoxide.
