Abstract

Density functional theory studies demonstrate that defective graphene-supported Cu nanoparticles can modify the structural and electronic properties of copper for enhancing electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into hydrocarbon fuels (CH₄, CO, and HCOOH). We not only provide improved understanding of CO₂ conversion mechanisms on both Cu and the Cu nanoparticle system, but also explain a key factor for enhanced CO₂ conversion. A promising catalytic material for CO ₂ conversion into hydrocarbon fuels may allow for geometry flexibility upon interaction with a key intermediate of CHO*. This journal is
