Electroreduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) or monoxide (CO) toward C2+ hydrocarbons such as ethylene, ethanol, acetate and propanol represents a promising approach carbon-negative electrosynthesis chemicals. Fundamental understanding the carbon─carbon (C-C) coupling mechanisms in these electrocatalytic processes is key to design development electrochemical systems at high energy conversion efficiencies.

Abstract Efficient electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (ECO RR) to multi‐electron reductive products remains a great challenge. Herein, molecular engineering of copper phthalocyanines (CuPc) was explored by modifying electron‐withdrawing groups (EWGs) (cyano, sulfonate anion) and electron‐donating (EDGs) (methoxy, amino) CuPc, then supporting onto carbon paper or cloth means droplet coating, loading with nanotubes coating in polypyrrole (PPy). The results showed that the PPy‐coated CuPc...
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are used in catalysis due to their high specific surface area and porous structure.
