The electrocatalytic reduction of CO₂ into high-value multi-carbon products represents a pathway toward carbon neutrality and sustainable chemical production. The transition from lab-scale studies to industrial-scale implementation helps bridge the gap theory and practice.

This book explores the mechanism and functional design of electrocatalysts for CO₂ electroreduction, focusing on bridging the gap between lab-scale research and industrial implementation. It investigates the role of grain boundary structures, oxidation states, and interfacial microenvironments in stabilizing Cu-based catalysts, which improve the production of multi-carbon products. Additionally, this work introduces new approaches to modulate copper oxidation states, leading to improved catalytic performance.

By integrating fundamental insights with industrial feasibility, this book offers a guide for researchers and engineers to developing next-generation CO₂ electrolysis technologies, thereby contributing to carbon-neutral chemical manufacturing and sustainable energy solutions. 

In addition, this book:

• Bridges between lab-scale studies and industrial implementation, offering guidance for actual applications
• Provides information on catalysts’ design and modulation to help improve their selectivity and stability
• Serves as a resource for professionals working towards sustainable and carbon-neutral chemical manufacturing
