Copper can efficiently electro-catalyze carbon dioxide reduction to C2+ products (C2H4, C2H5OH, n-propanol). However, the correlation between the activity and active sites remains ambiguous, impeding further improvements in their performance. The facet effect of copper crystals to promote CO adsorption and C−C coupling and consequently yield a superior selectivity for C2+ products is described. We achieve a high Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 87 % and a large partial current density of 217 mA cm−2 toward C2+ products on Cu(OH)2-D at only −0.54 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode in a flow-cell electrolyzer. With further coupled to a Si solar cell, record-high solar conversion efficiencies of 4.47 % and 6.4 % are achieved for C2H4 and C2+ products, respectively. This study provides an in-depth understanding of the selective formation of C2+ products on Cu and paves the way for the practical application of electrocatalytic or solar-driven CO2 reduction.
