A BiCu dilute alloy catalyst is designed to overcome the CO2-poor environment in CO2 post-capture liquid electrolysis. This catalyst enhances CO* coverage and enables asymmetric CO–CHO coupling, a lower-energy pathway than conventional symmetric C–C coupling, doubling the energy efficiency for electrified ethylene synthesis from a CO2 post-capture liquid.
