Abstract

Read online

It is important yet challenging to improve the interface contact between commonly used carbon conductive layer and metal oxide catalysts. Here the authors propose BiCuSeO with alternant active [Bi2O2]2+ sublayers and conductive [Cu2Se2]2- sublayer within its superlattice as efficient catalyst for CO2 electroreduction to formate.
