Aqueous phase electrochemical reduction of CO2requires an active electrocatalyst and efficient mass transport. Here, the authors report a hollow fibre copper electrode displaying compact 3D geometry, with a large area, three phase boundary for gas-liquid reactions, and subsequently enhanced performance.
