Abstract

We developed a route to prepare nanoporous Cu/Ni oxide composites. It was discovered that the Cu/Ni oxide composites were very efficient electrocatalysts for CO₂ reduction to formate in aqueous electrolytes. The excellent performance resulted mainly from the porous structure, synergistic effect of the two oxides, and low charge transfer resistance.
