Enhancing CO2 Electroreduction Precision to Ethylene and Ethanol: The Role of Additional Boron Catalytic Sites in Cu‐Based Tandem Catalysts by Fuqing Yu, Minxing Shu, Guangyao Zhang, Qiming Yu, Hongming Wang

“…This study shows that incorporating elemental boron (B) into copper (Cu) catalysts provides additional adsorption sites for *CO intermediates, enhancing the selectivity of desirable C2+ products. Additionally, using a nickel single‐atom catalyst (Ni‐SAC) as a *CO source increases local *CO concentration and reduces the hydrogen evolution reaction. …”
