Schematic diagram of the mechanism for CO2 conversion to multicarbon products on the polymer-modified Cu electrodes.

Caption

Polyacrylate featured with electron-accepting groups decorated onto the Cu electrode could stabilize the *CO intermediates, given the redistributed interfacial electron density and the raised energy level of d-band center of Cu active sites, thus facilitating the C-C coupling and then the C2+ selective production.
