Abstract
The CO2 electroreduction is promising for mitigating carbon emissions and producing value-added chemicals, but the direct CO2-to-C3+ conversion has still remained highly challenging. A recent report in Nature Catalysis demonstrated a reconstructed CuP2 catalyst for efficient CO2 electroreduction to C3+ products and proposed a new formaldehyde condensation coupling mechanism.
期刊介绍:
Joule is a sister journal to Cell that focuses on research, analysis, and ideas related to sustainable energy. It aims to address the global challenge of the need for more sustainable energy solutions. Joule is a forward-looking journal that bridges disciplines and scales of energy research. It connects researchers and analysts working on scientific, technical, economic, policy, and social challenges related to sustainable energy. The journal covers a wide range of energy research, from fundamental laboratory studies on energy conversion and storage to global-level analysis. Joule aims to highlight and amplify the implications, challenges, and opportunities of novel energy research for different groups in the field.
