Hydroxylation boosted low-overpotential CO2 reduction to ethylene for Cu/PTFE electrode
Abstract
We observed that Cu/PTFE catalyst for CO2 reduction reaction generated high coverage of *OH which facilitates both the activation of CO2 and the C-C coupling leading to a Faradaic efficiency for ethylene exceeding 50% at an exceptionally low potential of -246 mV vs. RHE, with a maximum FEC2H4 reaching 60.3%.
