Abstract

Coordinatively unsaturated copper (Cu) has been demonstrated to be effective for electrifying CO2 reduction into C3 products by adjusting the coupling of C1–C2 intermediates. Nevertheless, the intuitive impacts of ultralow coordination Cu sites on C3 products are scarcely elucidated due to the lack of synthetic recipes for Cu with low coordination numbers and its vulnerability to aggregation under reductive potentials. Herein, computational predictions revealed that Cu sites with higher levels of coordinative unsaturation favored the adsorption of C1 and C2 intermediates. Building upon the correlations, we constructed an ultralow coordination Cu catalyst from the in situ reduction of copper oxide nanoparticles…
