Abstract Deeply electrolytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) to high‐value ethylene (C H 4 is very attractive. However, the sluggish kinetics C−C coupling seriously results in low selectivity CO electroreduction C . Herein, we report a copper‐based polyhedron (Cu2) that features uniformly distributed and atomically precise bi‐Cu units, which can stabilize *OCCO dipole facilitate for high selective production. The faradaic efficiency (FE) reaches 51 % with current density 469.4 mA cm −2 , much superior Cu single site catalyst (Cu SAC) (~0 %). Moreover, Cu2 has higher turnover frequency (TOF, ~520 h −1 compared nanoparticles (~9.42 SAC (~0.87 ).

Converting nitrate (NO3–) to ammonia (NH3) through the electrochemical reduction method offers an appealing approach for wastewater treatment and facilitates nitrogen cycling in nature. However, this electrolytic involves a series of proton-coupled electron transfer processes comes with severe competing reactions. Consequently, there is significant demand catalysts exhibiting good catalytic activities selectivities. Here, copper–cobalt binary sulfide nanosheets varying Cu/Co compositions were prepared investigate synergy effects between components copper cobalt on their performance. As result, volcano-like correlation ratio electrocatalytic performance was built. The optimal catalyst CuxS–Co0.5 exhibited maximum Faradaic efficiency (FE) ∼95.6% at −1.4 V vs Ag/AgCl. highest yield rate 5.36 mg/h·cm2 achieved −1.6 Ag/AgCl, which 6.5- 3.8-fold relative those pure CuxS CoS2, respectively. By combining spectroscopy characterizations theoretical calculations, we revealed that built-in electric field confined few nanometers played critical role enhancing creating more active sites.
