Optimized copper interfaces with trianglamine for enhanced electrocatalytic CO <sub>2</sub> reduction
We employ an innovative surface modification strategy using trianglamine (TA) to construct an amino-functionalized Cu-TA catalyst <i>via in situ</i> electrochemical reduction. The extended π-conjugation system and -NH- groups in the TA molecules effectively stabilize Cu<sup>+</sup> sites, facilitating the formation of key intermediates (*COOH and *CHO) and enhancing the C-C coupling process.
