The electroreduction of carbon dioxide using renewable electricity is an appealing strategy for the sustainable synthesis of chemicals and fuels. Extensive research has focused on the production of ethylene, ethanol and n-propanol, but more complex C<sub>4</sub> molecules have been scarcely reported. Herein, we report the first direct electroreduction of CO<sub>2</sub> to 1-butanol in alkaline electrolyte on Cu gas diffusion electrodes (Faradaic efficiency=0.056 %, j<sub>1-Butanol</sub> =-0.080 ...[more]
