Isolating purified electrosynthesis product is a major challenge in electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction. Here, the authors report a nanotwinned silver electrocatalyst and a pneumatic-trough cell system to produce a 52% concentrated CO, which is further utilized as a carbon feedstock for graphene production.
