Abstract
Abstract Defect‐engineered bimetallic oxides exhibit high potential for the electrolysis of small organic molecules. However, the ambiguity in the relationship between the defect density and electrocatalytic performance makes it challenging to control the final products of multi‐step multi‐electron reactions in such electrocatalytic systems. In this study, controllable kinetics reduction is used to maximize the oxygen vacancy density of a Cu─Co oxide nanosheet (CuCo 2 O 4 NS), which is used to catalyze the glycerol electrooxidation reaction (GOR). The CuCo 2 O 4−x NS with the highest oxygen‐vacancy density (CuCo 2 O 4−x ‐2) oxidizes C3 molecules to C1 molecules with selectivity of almost 100% and a Faradaic…
