Abstract

Abstract : In situ deposited copper nano dendrites are capable of reducing CO2 towards ethylene at a high current density of 170 mA cm −2 . In article number1602114, Christian Reller, Günter Schmid, and co‐workers demonstrate that the observed Faraday efficiency (57%) largely depends on the morphology of the catalyst. The inside cover picture depicts the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to ethylene and OH − from two molecules CO2, eight molecules H2 O and twelve transferred electrons by the catalyst shown in the background.
