Engineering electrolyte additives enhances CO2 reduction on Cu catalysts, improving C-C coupling efficiency.
Here we engineer the solvated structure of metal cations by introducing dimethyl sulfoxide as an electrolyte additive to modulate the interfacial water environment. This tailored solvation facilitates faster proton-coupled electron transfer on Cu-based catalysts during CO2 activation and increases *CO intermediate absorption, thereby promoting C-C coupling toward C2H4 formation in the electrochemical CO2 reduction.
