A copper oxide catalyst supported by graphite phase carbon nitride (CuO\/g-C3N4) was prepared using a one-step hydrothermal method and exhibited a better performance than pure copper oxide nanosheets (CuO NSs) and spherical copper oxide particles (CuO SPs). The Faradaic efficiency reached 64.7% for all the C2 products, specifically 37.0% for C2H4, with a good durability at \u22121.0 V vs. RHE. The results suggest that the interaction between CuO and the two-dimensional g-C3N4 planes promoted CO2 adsorption, its activation and C-C coupling. This work offers a practical method that can be used to enhance the activity of electrochemical CO2R and the selectivity of C2 products through synergistic effects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms232214381","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,21]],"date-time":"2022-11-21T02:52:21Z","timestamp":1668999141000},"page":"14381","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Highly Selective Electrochemical CO2 Reduction to C2 Products on a g-C3N4-Supported Copper-Based Catalyst"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Zijun","family":"Yan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"New Materials Institute, University of Nottingham Ningbo China, Ningbo 315100, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6469-9613","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tao","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New Materials Institute, University of Nottingham Ningbo China, Ningbo 315100, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Carbonaceous Wastes Processing and Process Intensification of Zhejiang Province, University of Nottingham Ningbo China, Ningbo 315100, China"},{"name":"Nottingham Ningbo Beacons of Excellence Research and Innovation Institute, Ningbo 315000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1446","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cherd.2011.01.028","article-title":"Recent developments on carbon capture and storage: An overview","volume":"89","author":"Pires","year":"2011","journal-title":"Chem.
