Figure Abstract

Caption

CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) driven by green electricity is attractive in mitigating greenhouse effect and achieving carbon neutrality. Unraveling the CO2RR mechanism is challenging and yet essential for designing potent electrocatalysts. This review summarizes recent advances in extending in situ vibrational spectroscopies to tackle such fundamental issues for CO2RR as reaction intermediates, pathways, structure-properties relation and electrolyte effect, and provides a brief outlook for the future relevant study.
