Construction of stable Cu<sup>+</sup>/Cu<sup>0</sup> sites at the fullerene/Cu(OH)F interface to boost the electroreduction of CO<sub>2</sub> to C<sub>2+</sub> products
Herein, the reduction of the Cu oxidation state during the CO<sub>2</sub> electro-reduction reaction (CO<sub>2</sub>RR) is effectively inhibited by depositing C<sub>60</sub> supramolecular clusters onto the Cu(OH)F surface. By utilizing the unique electronic buffering capacity of C<sub>60</sub>, a significant number of Cu<sup>0</sup>/Cu<sup>+</sup> sites are created, leading to a remarkable faradaic efficiency of C<sub>2+</sub> products up to 76.9% and exceptional stability.
