TL;DR: It is reported that catalysts with nanocavities can confine carbon intermediates formed in situ, which in turn covers the local catalyst surface and thereby stabilizes Cu+ species, which leads to the marked C2+ selectivity at large conversion rate.

TL;DR: In this paper, a bioinspired copper catalyst on a gas diffusion layer that mimics the unique hierarchical structuring of Setaria's hydrophobic leaves was proposed, which can not only trap more CO close to the active copper surface but also effectively resist electrolyte flooding even under high-rate operation.

TL;DR: Experimental and computational studies show that the high-curvature CdS nanostructured catalyst with pronounced proximity effect gives rise to large electric field enhancement, which can concentrate alkali metal cations and thereby results in the enhanced CO 2 electroreduction efficiency.

TL;DR: It is shown that phase-mixed engineering of cobalt diselenide electrocatalysts can enable greater covalency of Co-Se bonds and improve robustness for catalyzing hydrogen evolution in acid.

TL;DR: In this paper, a ternary nickel-tungsten-copper nanoalloy with marked hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) activity and stability was proposed. But, the performance of the nano-alloy was not as good as the Pt/C catalyst.
