Converting copper sulfide to copper with surface sulfur for electrocatalytic alkyne semi-hydrogenation with water

Highly selective electrocatalytic semi-hydrogenation of alkynes over a noble-metal-free catalyst is highly desirable. Here, authors synthesize sulfur-containing copper nanowire sponges for selective electrocatalytic alkyne semi-hydrogenation using water as the hydrogen source.
