Morphology and mechanism of highly selective Cu(II) oxide nanosheet catalysts for carbon dioxide electroreduction

Copper oxides (CuO) can selectively catalyze the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to hydrocarbons and oxygenates. Here, the authors study the activity and morphological evolution of 2D CuO nanosheets under applied electrode potentials to conclude the primacy of dendritic shapes and involvement of a...
