Electrochemical conversion of CO2 into value-added chemicals holds promise to enable the transition to carbon neutrality, but enhancing the selectivity toward a specific hydrocarbon product remains a challenging task. Now, the authors present a Cu–polyamine hybrid catalyst that achieves Faradaic efficiency of 87% for ethylene and full-cell energy efficiency of 50%.
