�One-pot� synthesis of activated carbon � Graphene oxide polyethyleneimine-functionalized supported copper nanoparticles electrode for carbon dioxide reduction reaction

Graphene oxide has been widely modified and used in carbon dioxide reduction reactions (CO2RR). Research suggests that using activated carbon with graphene oxide enhances surface wetness, improving its adsorption and capacitance capabilities to boost CO2RR catalytic activity. Moreover, the usage and...
