Abstract

We report a phosphate-incorporated Cu(OH)₂ nanoarray catalyst featuring lattice distortion and a quasi-single-crystalline structure. This unique design enriches local active sites and facilitates pre-oxidation, achieving 99.9% faradaic efficiency for electrochemical methanol-to-formate conversion with 120-hour stability.
