Abstract Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) is pivotal for low‐carbon industry. Among varied techniques, coupling of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) with small molecules to generate valuable‐added chemicals using renewable electricity stands out thanks its cost‐effectiveness sustainability. This review first highlights recent strategies in catalyst preparation improving the efficiency selectivity electrochemical reactions, including heterostructure catalysts, bimetallic defect engineering, coordination complexes. The progresses on mechanism investigation C─N, C─O, C─C situ spectroscopies online mass spectrometry are subsequently summarized. In addition, electrolyzer design techno–economic analysis about process optimization integration energy stressed. Finally, future challenges optimization, reaction elucidation, scale‐up implementation discussed.
