Atomic layer confined vacancies for atomic-level insights into carbon dioxide electroreduction

The role of oxygen vacancies in carbon dioxide reduction remains somewhat unclear. Here, the authors fabricate vacancy-rich and vacancy-poor Co3O4single-unit-cell layers, and demonstrate by X-ray absorption and DFT that the material is a promising platform for mechanistic studies of carbon dioxide r...
