We report single-atom Cu catalysts dispersed on nitrogen-doped carbon by a nitrogen-coordination strategy. The presence of nitrogen enabled good dispersion and attachment atomic species the frameworks with Cu–Nx configurations. doping concentrations configurations were well-tuned pyrolysis temperature. At high concentration 4.9%mol, distance between neighboring was close enough to enable C–C coupling produce C2H4. In contrast, at lower than 2.4%mol, large so that electrocatalyst favored...
Monodispersed single metal atoms have been demonstrated with unique potentials for electroreduction of CO2 or CO, while the capability producing multicarbon (C2+) products is still limited.
