Abstract The electrocatalytic conversion of CO 2 to value‐added hydrocarbons is receiving significant attention as a promising way close the broken carbon‐cycle. While most metal catalysts produce C 1 species, such carbon monoxide and formate, production various alcohols comprising more than two carbons has been achieved using copper (Cu)‐based only. Methods for producing specific reduction outcomes with high selectivity, however, are not available thus far. Herein, morphological effect Cu...
