Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction is a promising technology to using clean electricity to convert greenhouse gas of CO2 and H2O into valuable chemicals and fuels, such as CO, formate, methane, ethylene, ethanol and n-propanol. Both the selectivity and activity of C1 products have already achieved to a relatively high value, while the C2+ products with high energy density are limited by the C−C coupling and multiple H+/e− transfer, leading to the complicated reaction pathway and low-efficient conversion rate. Thus, the rational and critical design of the active catalytic sites for the specific reaction intermediate are necessary based on the deep understanding of mechanism. In this talk, I will discuss my recent efforts of electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to C2+ products using vacancy defect engineering.
