Electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) toward value-added chemicals/fuels has offered a sustainable strategy to achieve carbon-neutral energy cycle. However, it remains great challenge controllably and precisely regulate the coordination environment of active sites in catalysts for efficient generation targeted products, especially multicarbon (C2+) products. Herein we report engineering metal centers polymers electroreduction CO2 C2+ products under neutral conditions. Significantly, Cu polymer with Cu–N2S2 configuration (Cu–N–S) demonstrates superior Faradaic efficiencies 61.2% 82.2% ethylene respectively, compared selective formic acid on an analogous Cu–I2S2 mode (Cu–I–S). In situ studies reveal balanced formation atop bridge *CO intermediates Cu–N–S, promoting C–C coupling production. Theoretical calculations suggest that can induce electronic modulations sites, where d-band center is upshifted Cu–N–S stronger selectivity Consequently, displays trend while Cu–I–S favors due suppression couplings pathways large barriers.

ConspectusDual-atom catalysts (DACs), featuring two catalytic sites in close proximity, have emerged as a new frontier energy-related catalysis. Compared with single-atom (SACs), DACs more space to optimize the performance by changing dual-atom and their coordination environments. Through adjusting compositions environments of metal DACs, it is possible finely tune electronic geometric properties active centers, then synergistic effects for facilitating substrates activation intermediates stabilization can be strengthened or optimized, consequently tailoring diverse reaction pathways achieving various challenging reactions.
