Highly selective plasma-activated copper catalysts for carbon dioxide reduction to ethylene
Carbon dioxide electroreduction is a promising route to hydrocarbon synthesis, but more efficient and selective catalysts are needed. Here the authors show that plasma-activated copper can catalyse the reduction of carbon dioxide to ethylene with high efficiency and reveal cationic copper as the act...
