Selective Electrosynthesis of Methanol from CO <sub>2</sub> Over Cu/Cu <sub>2</sub> P <sub>2</sub> O <sub>7</sub> Via the Formate Pathway (Adv. Mater. 35/2025)
CO2-to-Methanol over Earth-Abundant Catalysts Hybrid Cu/Cu2P2O7 catalysts, formed by discharging Li-ion batteries, steer CO2 electroreduction decisively toward methanol, a key chemical for a sustainable future. The noble-metal-free hybrids achieve Faradaic efficiencies of 48.8 % in KHCO3 and 70.1 % in CsHCO3, operate steadily for 48 h, and sustain > 100 mA cm−2 on gas-diffusion electrodes.
