Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 conversion to value-added multicarbon (C2+) chemicals holds promise for reducing CO2 emissions and advancing carbon neutrality. However, achieving both high conversion rate and selectivity remains challenging due to the limited active sites on catalysts for carbon-carbon (C─C) coupling. Herein, porous CuO is coated with amorphous CuSiO3 (p-CuSiO3/CuO) to maximize the active interface sites, enabling efficient CO2 reduction to C2+ products. Significantly, the p-CuSiO3/CuO catalyst exhibits impressive C2+ Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 77.8% in an H-cell at -1.2 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode in 0.1 M KHCO3 and remarkable C2H4 and C2+ FEs of 82% and 91.7% in a flow cell at a current density of 400 mA cm-2 in 1 M KOH. In situ characterizations and theoretical calculations reveal that the active interfaces facilitate CO2 activation and lower the formation energy of the key intermediate *OCCOH, thus promoting CO2 conversion to C2+. This work provides a rational design for steering the active sites toward C2+ products.

Abstract
The efficient conversion of CO2 is considered to be an important step toward carbon emissions peak and carbon neutrality. Presently, great efforts have been devoted to the study of efficient nanocatalysts, electrolytic cell, and electrolytes to achieve high reactivity and selectivity in the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to mono- and multi-carbon (C2+) compounds. However, there are very few reviews focusing on highly reactive and selective ethylene production and application in the field of electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR). Ethylene is a class of multi-carbon compounds that are widely applied in industrial, ecological, and agricultural fields. This review focuses especially on the convertibility of CO2 reduction to generate ethylene technology in practical applications and provides a detailed summary of the latest technologies for the efficient production of ethylene by CO2RR and suggests the potential application of CO2RR systems in food science to further expand the application market of CO2RR for ethylene production.

Abstract
Cu and graphene oxide composites (Cu-GO) were designed by anchoring Cu+ via oxygen groups in GO based on the heavy co-relationships of copper (Cu) anode electrocatalytic activity with Cu valence state. With the consumption of oxygen groups under various pyrolysis temperatures, the Cu valence state changed from Cu ions (as CuCl2 and CuCl) to Cu oxide (CuO and Cu2O) and the final metallic Cu. In which the Cu+ in CuCl was more favorable for electrocatalytic oxidation than other Cu valence states. Due to the dramatic contribution of 1O2 and active chlorine, 100% degradation efficiency was achieved using tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) as the target pollutant. Cu+ showed a selective preference for 1O2 and active chlorine triggering, rather than metallic Cu. Under the attack of 1O2 and active chlorine, the degradation intermediates of TCH were then provided by LC-MS results. The final results not only prove the feasibility of the Cu-GO/electrocatalysis system for pollution control but also shed light on the anode design via Cu valence state modulation.

Abstract
Electrochemically reducing CO2 to ethanol is attractive but suffers from poor selectivity. Tandem catalysis that integrates the activation of CO2 to an intermediate using one active site and the subsequent formation of hydrocarbons on the other site offers a promising approach, where the control of the intermediate transfer between different catalytic sites is challenging. We propose an internally self-feeding mechanism that relies on the orientation of the mass transfer in a hierarchical structure and demonstrate it using a one-dimensional (1D) tandem core-shell catalyst. Specifically, the carbon-coated Ni-core (Ni/C) catalyzes the transformation of CO2-to-CO, after which the CO intermediates are guided to diffuse to the carbon-coated Cu-shell (Cu/C) and experience the selective reduction to ethanol, realizing the orientated key intermediate transfer. Results show that the Faradaic efficiency for ethanol was 18.2% at -1 V vs. RHE (VRHE) for up to 100 h. The following mechanism study supports the hypothesis that the CO2 reduction on Ni/C generates CO, which is further reduced to ethanol on Cu/C sites. Density functional theory calculations suggest a combined effect of the availability of CO intermediate in Ni/C core and the dimerization of key *CO intermediates, as well as the subsequent proton-electron transfer process on the Cu/C shell.

Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of CO2 into high energy density multi-carbon chemicals or fuels (e. g., ethylene) via new renewable energy storage has extraordinary implications for carbon neutrality. Copper (Cu)-based catalysts have been recognized as the most promising catalysts for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to ethylene (C2 H4 ) due to their moderate CO adsorption energy and moderate hydrogen precipitation potential. However, the poor selectivity, low current density and high overpotential of the CO2 RR into C2 H4 greatly limit its industrial applications. Meanwhile, the complex reaction mechanism is still unclear, which leads to blindness in the design of catalysts. Herein, we systematically summarized the latest research, proposed possible conversion mechanisms and categorized the general strategies to adjust of the structure and composition for CO2 RR, such as tip effect, defect engineering, crystal plane catalysis, synergistic effect, nanoconfinement effect and so on. Eventually, we provided a prospect of the future challenges for further development and progress in CO2 RR. Previous reviews have summarized catalyst designs for the reduction of CO2 to multi-carbon products, while lacking in targeting C2 H4 alone, an important industrial feedstock. This Review mainly aims to provide a comprehensive understanding for the design strategies and challenges of electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to C2 H4 through recent researches and further propose some guidelines for the future design of copper-based catalysts for electroreduction of CO2 to C2 H4 .

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction offers an effective means to store renewable electricity in value-added chemical feedstocks. Much effort has been made to develop catalysts that achieve high Faradaic efficiency toward Formate production, but the catalysts still need high operating potentials to drive the CO2–to–formate reduction. Here we report physical vapor deposition to fabricate homogeneously alloyed, compositionally controlled Cu1-xBix bimetallic catalysts over a large area with excellent electrical conductivity. Operating electrochemical studies in Ar-saturated and CO2-saturated electrolytes identified that Cu–Bi catalysts notably suppress the competing H2 evolution reaction and enhance CO2–to–formate selectivity. We reported a formate Faradaic efficiency of >95% at an improved cathodic potential of ∼−0.72 V vs. RHE and a high formate cathodic energy efficiency of ∼70%. The electrochemical reaction is stable over 24 h at a current density of 200 mA cm−2. The work shows the advantages of bimetallic catalysts over single metal catalysts for increased reaction activity and selectivity.

Abstract
The development of efficient catalysts is one of the main challenges in CO2 conversion to valuable chemicals and fuels. Herein, inspired by the knowledge of the thermocatalytic (TC) processes, Cu/ZnO and bare Cu catalysts enriched with Cu+1 were studied to convert CO2 via the electrocatalytic (EC) pathway. Integrating Cu with ZnO (a CO-generation catalyst) is a strategy explored in the EC CO2 reduction to reduce the kinetic barrier and enhance C-C coupling to obtain C2+ chemicals and energy carriers. Herein, ethanol was produced with the Cu/ZnO catalyst, reaching a productivity of about 5.27 mmol·gcat-1·h-1 in a liquid-phase configuration at ambient conditions. In contrast, bare copper preferentially produced C1 products like formate and methanol. During CO2 hydrogenation, a methanol selectivity close to 100% was achieved with the Cu/ZnO catalysts at 200 °C, a value that decreased at higher temperatures (i.e., 23% at 300 °C) because of thermodynamic limitations. The methanol productivity increased to approximately 1.4 mmol·gcat-1·h-1 at 300 °C. Ex situ characterizations after testing confirmed the potential of adding ZnO in Cu-based materials to stabilize the Cu1+/Cu0 interface at the electrocatalyst surface because of Zn and O enrichment by an amorphous zinc oxide matrix; while in the TC process, Cu0 and crystalline ZnO prevailed under CO2 hydrogenation conditions. It is envisioned that the lower *CO binding energy at the Cu0 catalyst surface in the TC process than in the Cu1+ present in the EC one leads to preferential CO and methanol production in the TC system. Instead, our EC results revealed that an optimum local CO production at the ZnO surface in tandem with a high amount of superficial Cu1+ + Cu0 species induces ethanol formation by ensuring an appropriate local amount of *CO intermediates and their further dimerization to generate C2+ products. Optimizing the ZnO loading on Cu is proposed to tune the catalyst surface properties and the formation of more reduced CO2 conversion products.

Abstract
Inspired by the knowledge of the thermocatalytic CO2 reduction process, novel nanocrystalline CuZnAl-oxide based catalysts with pyramidal mesoporous structures are here proposed for the CO2 electrochemical reduction under ambient conditions. The XPS analyses revealed that the co-presence of ZnO and Al2O3 into the Cu-based catalyst stabilize the CuO crystalline structure and introduce basic sites on the ternary as-synthesized catalyst. In contrast, the as-prepared CuZn- and Cu-based materials contain a higher amount of superficial Cu0 and Cu1+ species. The CuZnAl-catalyst exhibited enhanced catalytic performance for the CO and H2 production, reaching a Faradaic efficiency (FE) towards syngas of almost 95% at −0.89 V vs. RHE and a remarkable current density of up to 90 mA cm−2 for the CO2 reduction at −2.4 V vs. RHE. The physico-chemical characterizations confirmed that the pyramidal mesoporous structure of this material, which is constituted by a high pore volume and small CuO crystals, plays a fundamental role in its low diffusional mass-transfer resistance. The CO-productivity on the CuZnAl-catalyst increased at more negative applied potentials, leading to the production of syngas with a tunable H2/CO ratio (from 2 to 7), depending on the applied potential. These results pave the way to substitute state-of-the-art noble metals (e.g., Ag, Au) with this abundant and cost-effective catalyst to produce syngas. Moreover, the post-reaction analyses demonstrated the stabilization of Cu2O species, avoiding its complete reduction to Cu0 under the CO2 electroreduction conditions.

Abstract
Abstract
Since the onset of the industrial revolution, fossil fuels have been the primary source of energy generation, and the continued exploitation of fossil fuels has led to an increase in the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide. A lot of research currently focuses much on decreasing dependence on fossil fuels by replacing them with green energy. However, this technique poses a number of challenges, such as the need for improved infrastructure and technology and the high market penetration of renewable energy technologies. Capturing and converting carbon dioxide using electrochemical approaches can help to stabilize atmospheric greenhouse gas levels and create a positive future for the transformation of carbon dioxide into a number of value-added products. The conversion of carbon dioxide via electrochemical approach is a major challenge, and consideration must be given to the development and production of low-cost, stable, and highly efficient electrocatalysts. Hence, this review presents an overview of the current developments in the electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide. In addition, this study discusses the current progress of electrocatalysts, in particular, the homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyst, which has a high level of activity and selectivity of low overpotential preferred products. The overview of the mechanisms and kinetics of the carbon dioxide reduction using the computational method are also addressed.

Abstract
Copper-based materials are efficient electrocatalysts for the conversion of CO2 to C2+ products, and most these materials are reconstructed in situ to regenerate active species. It is a challenge to precisely design precatalysts to obtain active sites for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR). Herein, we develop a strategy based on local sulfur doping of a Cu-based metal-organic framework precatalyst, in which the stable Cu-S motif is dispersed in the framework of HKUST-1 (S-HKUST-1). The precatalyst exhibits a high ethylene selectivity in an H-type cell with a maximum faradaic efficiency (FE) of 60.0 %, and delivers a current density of 400 mA cm-2 with an ethylene FE up to 57.2 % in a flow cell. Operando X-ray absorption results demonstrate that Cuδ+ species stabilized by the Cu-S motif exist in S-HKUST-1 during CO2 RR. Density functional theory calculations indicate the partially oxidized Cuδ+ at the Cu/Cux Sy interface is favorable for coupling of the *CO intermediate due to the modest distance between coupling sites and optimized adsorption energy.

Abstract
The continuous rise in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) is of significant global concern. Several methodologies and technologies are proposed and applied by the industries to mitigate the emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere. This review article offers a large number of studies that aim to capture, convert, or reduce CO2 by using a superb porous class of materials (metal-organic frameworks, MOFs), aiming to tackle this worldwide issue. MOFs possess several remarkable features ranging from high surface area and porosity to functionality and morphology. As a result of these unique features, MOFs were selected as the main class of porous material in this review article. MOFs act as an ideal candidate for the CO2 capture process. The main approaches for capturing CO2 are pre-combustion capture, post-combustion capture, and oxy-fuel combustion capture. The applications of MOFs in the carbon capture processes were extensively overviewed. In addition, the applications of MOFs in the adsorption, membrane separation, catalytic conversion, and electrochemical reduction processes of CO2 were also studied in order to provide new practical and efficient techniques for CO2 mitigation.

Abstract
Here, we present fabrication of Graphene oxide (GO) supported Cu/Cu x O nano-electrodeposits which can efficiently and selectively electroreduce CO2 into ethylene with a faradaic efficiency (F.E) of 34% and a conversion rate of 194 mmol g-1 h-1 at -0.985 V vs. RHE. The effect of catalyst morphology, working electrode fabricational techniques, the extent of metal-GO interaction and the oxide content in Cu/Cu x O, was studied in detail so as to develop a protocol for the fabrication of an active, stable and selective catalyst for efficient electro-production of ethylene from CO2. Moreover, a detailed comparative study about the effect of the GO support, and the nature of the cathodic collection substrate used for the electro-deposition is presented.

Abstract
The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide in methanol was investigated with Cu and Cu2O-supported carbon black (Vulcan XC-72) nanoparticle electrodes. Herein, Cu or a Cu2O-deposited carbon black catalyst has been synthesized by the reduction method for a Cu ion, and the drop-casting method was applied for the fabrication of a modified carbon black electrode. A catalyst ink solution was fabricated by dispersing the catalyst particles, and the catalyst ink was added onto the carbon plate. The pH of suspension was effective for controlling the Cu species for the metallic copper and the Cu2O species deposited on the carbon black. Without the deposition of Cu, only CO and methyl formate were produced in the electrochemical CO2 reduction, and the production of hydrocarbons could be scarcely observed. In contrast, hydrocarbons were formed by using Cu or Cu2O-deposited carbon black electrodes. The maximum Faraday efficiency of hydrocarbons was 40.3% (26.9% of methane and 13.4% of ethylene) at −1.9 V on the Cu2O-deposited carbon black catalyst. On the contrary, hydrogen evolution could be depressed to 34.7% under the condition.
