Electrochemical reduction of CO2 could mitigate environmental problems originating from CO2 emission. Although grain boundaries (GBs) have been tailored to tune binding energies of reaction intermediates and consequently accelerate the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR), it is challenging to exclusivel...
