Research Team Led by Qiu Ming and Yu Ying Achieved Significant Progress in Electrocatalytic Carbon Reduction

Recently, the research team led by Associate Professor Qiu Ming and Professor Yu Ying published anarticle entitled "Cu-based bimetallic sites' p-d orbital hybridization promotes CO asymmetric coupling conversion to C₂ products" in Materials Today Physics.

The low selectivity and efficiency of CO₂ reduction to valuable multi-carbon products have hindered its industrial applications, largely due to sluggish C-C coupling kinetics. This study provides novel insights into the electrocatalytic reduction of CO to valuable C₂ products using a bimetallic single atom catalyst, offering important guidance for future research in this field.
