Structural insights into mononuclear Cu1 motifs for efficient CO electroreduction

Abstract

This study identified a fundamental structure-stability-activity triad correlation for CO electrocatalysis at site-specific mononuclear Cu1-C2N motifs. The privileged σ-π bonding synergy coupled with spatial confinement simultaneously optimizes reactivity-stability trade-offs from both electronic and geometric aspects, contrasting the conventional metal-Nx structures.
