Climate change has necessitated the development of technologies that are able to efficiently capture, utilize, and store CO₂, creating new opportunities to utilize CO₂ as a feedstock to produce fuels and chemicals that are vital to our society. In Nature, Sargent, Peters, Agapie, et al. control microenvironments around Cu electrocatalysts to achieve an impressive selectivity of 72% for CO₂ conversion to ethylene, stimulating our imagination of what industrial CO₂ electrolyzers may look like in the near future.

使用微环境控制CO ₂电催化反应

气候变化使得必须开发能够有效捕获，利用和存储CO _2的技术，从而创造了利用CO ₂作为原料生产对我们的社会至关重要的燃料和化学品的新机会。在《自然》中，萨金特，彼得斯，阿加皮等人。控制Cu电催化剂周围的微环境，以实现将CO ₂转化为乙烯的令人印象深刻的72％的选择性，这激发了我们对工业用CO ₂电解槽在不久的将来的外观的想象。
