Copper-based catalysts demonstrate distinctive multicarbon product activity in the CO2 electroreduction reaction (CO2RR); however, their low selectivity presents significant challenges for practical applications. Herein, we have developed a multilevel porous spherical Cu2O structure, wherein mesopores are enriched with catalytic active sites and effectively stabilize Cu+, while macropores facilitate formation of "gas–liquid–solid" three-phase interface, thereby creating microenvironment an increasing water concentration gradient from interior to exterior. Potential-driven phase engineering protonation synergistically optimize pathway, facilitating switch between CO C2H4. At current density 100 mA cm–2, faradaic efficiency (FE) reaches impressive 96.97%. When increases 1000 FEC2H4 attains 53.05%. Experiments theoretical calculations indicate that at lower potentials, pure diminishes adsorption *CO intermediates, weak inhibits hydrogen evolution reactions, promoting production. Conversely, more negative Cu0/Cu+ interface strong generate locally elevated concentrations *COOH which enhance C–C coupling deep hydrogenation, ultimately improving toward C2+ products. This study provides novel insights into rational design copper-based customizable
