Trinuclear copper supramolecular frameworks for boosting the electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 to C 3 products

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate how trinuclear copper can enhance CO2 reduction to C3 products.
Used trinuclear copper in supramolecular frameworks
Optimized electronic structure for C–C coupling
Tested K+ in electrolyte to assess its impact on HER
Enhanced C–C coupling was observed in the presence of the HCOO group
K+ ions suppressed the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER)
Successful generation of C3 products during CO2 reduction was achieved

Abstract

The HCOO group on trinuclear copper optimized the electronic structure in supramolecular frameworks and promoted C–C coupling, while K + in the electrolyte suppressed the HER, ultimately enabling the generation of C 3 products during CO 2 reduction.
