Carbon nanosheet supported Cu (Cu/CNS) is an exemplary electrocatalyst for electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). The Cu/CNS electrocatalysts however suffer from agglomeration of dispersed Cu nanoparticles and restacking of CNS causing degradation of electrocatalytic activity. Here, a facil...
