Preparation of electrodesThe electrodes were prepared by air-bushing the CuPc/CNP or EDTA/CuPc/CNP inks onto hydrophobic carbon papers. The spray density was kept at 0.1 mL cm-2. The CuPc/CNP catalyst inks were prepared by dispersing 64 mg CuPc ( > 99.5%, Sigma-Aldrich) and 42 mg CNP (Vulcan XC 72, Fuel Cell Store) mixture in 30 mL methanol (>99.5%, Fisher chemical) with 150 µL 5 wt% PiperIon (Fuel Cell Store) anion exchange ionomer as the binder.

AbstractThe carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide electroreduction reactions, when powered using low-carbon electricity, offer pathways to the decarbonization of chemical manufacture1,2. Copper (Cu) is relied on today for carbon–carbon coupling, in which it produces mixtures of more than ten C2+ chemicals3,4,5,6: a long-standing challenge lies in achieving selectivity to a single principal C2+ product7,8,9.
