Bio-inspired hydrophobicity promotes CO2 reduction on a Cu surface

by David Wakerley

Nature Materials, Published online: 05 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41563-019-0445-x

Aqueous electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 into alcohol and hydrocarbon fuels is a sustainable route towards energy-rich chemical feedstocks. A superhydrophobic surface of hierarchically structured Cu dendrites exhibits a significant increase in CO2 reduction selectivity.
