Valorisation of citrus waste for sustainable synthesis of carbon-supported copper nanoparticles active in CO<sub>2</sub> electroreduction
A microwave-assisted hydrothermal method is used to synthesise carbon-supported Cu 2 O/Cu electrocatalysts for CO 2 conversion using citrus peels as the source of both the carbon support and the Cu cations reducing agent.
