The missing intermediate to form ethanol from carbon dioxide

So far ethanol and ethylene have been suggested as twin products during CO2 electroreduction on copper. Here, via in situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory, we report a specific intermediate for ethanol production, proposing an update reaction mechanism.

The asymmetric solvating design: a versatile electrolyte design strategy for micro-sized alloying anodes

Our work presents asymmetric electrolyte design, ie, the use of asymmetric solvating and lithium hexafluorophosphate salt to promote LiF interphase formation on micro-sized alloying anodes (Si, Al, Sn, Bi), achieving superior cycle performance for high-energy batteries using low-cost materials.

Durable electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to ethylene system via eliminating carbonate formation

Efficient CO2 reduction is crucial in fighting climate change. Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction (ECO2R) with renewable energy is promising, but alkaline conditions and alkali cations pose challenges. Our pure-water-fed system overcomes these, paving the way for a stable and efficient ECO2R process.

Efficient Market vs Regulatory Capture: the Political Economy of China's Power Market Reform

China's power sector reform has been a topic of significant interest as the sector accounts for 45% of its carbon emissions. We delve into the efficiency changes spurred by market reforms and explores the influences of both market-driven and politically driven mechanisms in the reform process.
