A strategy to eliminate carbon deposition on a copper electrode in order to enhance its stability in CO2RR catalysis by introducing crystal defects

Cu is the only electrocatalyst that converts CO2 into appreciable quantities of hydrocarbons. However, it usually suffers from poor catalytic stability. In this work we propose a strategy of introducing crystal defects to change the reaction pathway and avoid accumulation of carbon on the Cu electro...
