Accurate descriptions of molecule-surface interactions in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction on the copper surfaces

The most widely used density functional approximations for heterogenous catalysis has limited accuracy. Here, the authors propose a hybrid scheme to accurately describe Cu surface for CO2 electroreduction, facilitating the rational design of catalysts.
