Abstract
The continuous growth of the global population is driving an ever-increasing energy demand. However, society remains dependent on petroleum-based infrastructure while grappling with the inherent intermittency of renewable energy sources, highlighting the urgent need for innovative solutions. In this context, mitigating ecosystem damage has become a key priority, with the carbon cycle emerging as a focal point of research. Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) technologies, alongside Electrochemical CO₂ Reduction (ECCO₂R), offer a promising approach to transforming CO2 from a pollutant into a valuable resource. By reducing atmospheric CO₂ levels, this strategy addresses environmental concerns and repurposes CO₂ as a raw material for synthesizing chemicals and fuels.
Among electrocatalytic materials, polycrystalline Cu stands out as the only metal capable of producing a variety of hydrocarbons and alcohols
