Boosting C-C Coupling for Electrochemical CO₂ Reduction over Novel Cu-Cubic Catalysts with an Amorphous Shell by Hanlin Wang, Tian Wang, Gaigai Dong, Linbo Zhang, Fan Pan, Yunqing Zhu

“…In this study, we employed sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) as a surfactant in the electrodeposition method to synthesize copper cubes encapsulated with an amorphous shell (100 nm–250 nm) containing numerous defect sites on its surface. The electrocatalytic CO₂ reduction reactions in an H-type reactor showed that, compared to ED-Cu synthesized without additives, AS (amorphous shell)-Cu-5 exhibited a Faradaic efficiency value for ethylene that was 1.7 times greater than that of ED-Cu while significantly decreasing the Faradaic efficiency of hydrogen production. …”
