Highly selective electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to ethane over a petal-like Zn(OH)2/Cu2+1O/Cu foam catalyst at low overpotentials

Abstract

Due to multiple reaction steps and a lack of efficient catalysts, the synthesis of ethane from the CO2 electroreduction reaction (ECO2RR) is particularly challenging. A Zn(OH)2/Cu2+1O/CF catalyst was applied in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to ethane, which offers high selectivity at low overpotentials.
