Electroreduction of acetonitrile to ethylamine by thin carbon-coated copper catalysts with rich active interphases
Thin carbon-coated copper catalysts facilitate the electroreduction of acetonitrile to ethylamine, in which a faradaic selectivity of 98% and a partial current density of 117 mA cm<sup>-2</sup> towards ethylamine at -0.8 V<sub>RHE</sub> can be achieved. The carbon shells benefit the formation of rich active interfaces and suppress copper agglomeration.
