Abstract: | Electrochemical reduction of CO₂ to high-energy-density oxygenates and hydrocarbons beyond CO is important for long-term and large-scale renewable energy storage. However, the key step of the C-C bond formation needed for the generation of C₂ products induces an additional barrier on the reaction. This inevitably creates larger overpotentials and greater variety of products as compared to the conversion of CO₂ to C₁ products. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of the catalytic mechanism is required for advancing the design of efficient electrocatalysts to control the reaction pathway to the desired products. Herein, we present a critical appraisal of reduction of CO₂ to C₂ products focusing on the connection between the fundamentals of reaction and efficient electrocatalysts. An in-depth discussion of the mechanistic aspects of various C₂ reaction pathways on copper-based catalysts is presented together with consideration of practical factors under electrocatalytic operating conditions. By providing some typical examples illustrating the benefit of merging theoretical calculations, surface characterization, and electrochemical measurements, we try to address the key issues of the ongoing debate toward better understanding electrochemical reduction of CO₂ at the atomic level and envisioning the roadmap for C₂ products generation. |
