<i>In situ</i> formed CuSn alloy from multivariate metal–organic frameworks for tunable CO<sub>2</sub> electroreduction
A molecular ligand separation method based on multivariate metal-organic frameworks (MOF) is developed to precisely regulate CuSn alloy for tuning the selectivity of HCOOH and CO in CO<sub>2</sub> reduction. With this method, the agglomeration and heterogeneous nucleations of metals are effectively inhibited during the <i>in situ</i> electrochemical transformation of CuSn-MOFs into highly pure CuSn alloy. The low Sn content favors CO production, while the high Sn concentration facilitates HCOOH formation.
