Microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of amino acid-loaded Cu<sub>2</sub>O hybrid particles for CO<sub>2</sub> reduction electrocatalysis
Amino acid-loaded Cu<sub>2</sub>O hybrid particles were synthesized <i>via</i> microwave-assisted hydrothermal reaction for efficient CO<sub>2</sub> reduction. The amino acid-loaded Cu<sub>2</sub>O particles exhibited different selectivities in the CO<sub>2</sub> electrolysis products depending on type of loaded amino acid. Notably, as compared to amino acid-unloaded Cu<sub>2</sub>O particles, the l-histidine-loaded Cu<sub>2</sub>O hybrid particles exhibited an improvement of faradaic efficiency to 18.5% toward ethylene production.
