Abstract
In their Research Article (e202503745), Jiawei Zhu and co-workers report a selectivity descriptor based on Cu─O bond length for screening highly selective cuprates toward CH4 electrosynthesis. This descriptor reveals that CH4 selectivity exhibits a volcano-shaped correlation with the Cu─O bond length, with the optimal value accessible at ∼1.951 Å. Using this descriptor, three new cuprates are predicted, demonstrating better performance compared to the reported Cu-based catalysts in acidic electrolytes.
