Abstract

Abstract : Herein, we synthesize B-doped CuO nanobundles for electrocatalytic CO2 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). Abstract : Novel boron-doped CuO nanobundles are designed for CO2 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 CO2 reduction to ethylene.
