Boron-doped CuO nanobundles for electroreduction of carbon dioxide to ethylene

Novel boron-doped CuO nanobundles are designed for CO 2 reduction to the single multi-carbon product of ethylene, and their faradaic efficiency can reach 58.4% with a current density of 18.2 mA cm −2 . This active, selective and simply prepared electrocatalyst provides a promising electrocatalyst ca...

Description
Summary:Novel boron-doped CuO nanobundles are designed for CO 2 reduction to the single multi-carbon product of ethylene, and their faradaic efficiency can reach 58.4% with a current density of 18.2 mA cm −2 . This active, selective and simply prepared electrocatalyst provides a promising electrocatalyst candidate for CO 2 reduction to ethylene. Herein, we synthesize B-doped CuO nanobundles for electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction. Ethylene is the only multi-carbon product and a maximum ethylene faradaic efficiency (FE) of 58.4% can be achieved at −1.1 V ( versus the reversible hydrogen electrode).
