The Influence of Mesoscopic Surface Structure on the Electrocatalytic Selectivity of CO2 Reduction with UHV-Prepared Cu(111) Single Crystals The key role of morphological defects (e.g., irregular steps and dislocations) on the selectivity of model Cu catalysts for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 (CO2RR) is illustrated here. Cu(111) single-crystal surfaces prepared under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions and presenting similar chemical and local microscopic surface features were found to display different product selectivity during the CO2RR. In particular, changes in selectivity from hydrogen-dominant to hydrocarbon-dominant product distributions were observed based on the number of CO2RR electrolysis pretreatment cycles performed prior to a subsequent UHV surface regeneration treatment, which lead to surfaces with seemingly identical chemical composition and local crystallographic structure. However, significant mesostructural changes were observed through a micron-scale microscopic analysis, including a higher density of irregular steps on the samples producing hydrocarbons. Thus, our findings highlight that step edges are key for C–C coupling in the CO2RR and that not only atomistic but also mesoscale characterization of electrocatalytic materials is needed in order to comprehend complex selectivity trends.
