Highlights Three key processes in carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) for ethylene generation were discussed, including CO2 adsorption/activation, *CO intermediates formation, and C-C coupling. The preferable mechanism for ethylene over C1 and other C2 products reaction pathways. Engineering strategies of Cu-based catalysts for CO2RR-ethylene.
