Synergistic modulation of valence state and oxygen vacancy induced by surface reconstruction of the CeO2/CuO catalyst toward enhanced electrochemical CO2 reduction by Fangfang Chang, Zhenmao Zhang, Yan Zhang, Yongpeng Liu, Lin Yang, Xiaolei Wang, Zhengyu Bai, Qing Zhang

“…Advanced characterization analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations further confirm the fact that the existence of oxygen vacancies and Cu0–Cu+–Cu2+ sites modified with CeO2 is conducive to CO2 adsorption and activation, enhances the hydrogenation of *CO to *CHO, and further promotes the dimerization of *CHO, thus promoting the selectivity of C2+ generation. …”

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. …”
