Hydroxide promotes carbon dioxide electroreduction to ethanol on copper via tuning of adsorbed hydrogen
Producing ethanol from carbon dioxide, water, and renewable electricity offers a route to sustainable energy. Here, the authors enhance electrocatalytic activity for carbon dioxide reduction by tuning adsorbed hydrogen in a class of copper catalysts with oxide- and hydroxide-modified surfaces.
