Researchers from East China University of Science and Technology have developed an innovative method to improve CO₂ electrolysis by using Lewis-base ligands. These ligands, including ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), enhance the electrode-electrolyte interface by reshaping the hydrogen-bond network, which boosts the efficiency of CO₂ reduction. This strategy offers new insights into electrochemical interface design and could be applied to a range of commercial catalysts, advancing the field of electrolysis and renewable energy.
