Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates high selectivity for ethanol production in CO2 reduction, suggesting a breakthrough in electrocatalysis.

Key Points

  • This research aims to enhance the selectivity and yield of ethanol production from CO2 using new bimetallic electrocatalysts.
  • Developed layer-stacked two-dimensional conjugated coordination polymers (2D c-CPs) with separated Cu/Zn active sites.
  • Measured Faradaic efficiency (FE) and carbon efficiency for the electrochemical conversion of CO2 to ethanol.
  • Evaluated stability over 150 hours under controlled flow conditions.
  • Achieved an impressive Faradaic efficiency of 92.3% at a current density of 126.7 mA cm−2.
  • Demonstrated a carbon efficiency of 73% for CO2 conversion to ethanol.
  • Measured the energy cost for ethanol production at 56.6 GJ per tonne, the lowest among existing systems.
