Steering surface reconstruction of copper with electrolyte additives for CO2 electroreduction

Cu metal suffers from unavoidable and uncontrollable surface reconstruction during electrocatalysis. The authors here guide the reconstruction process in a favorable direction using trace amount of electrolyte additives, promoting CO2 electroreduction to CH4.
