A ‘Molecular Fence’ Helps Turn Carbon Dioxide Into Fuel
Researchers in China have introduced a “molecular fence” that confines reaction intermediates on an electrocatalytic surface, dramatically improving the conversion of carbon dioxide to ethylene. The fence, built from benzo‑2,1,3‑thiadiazole molecules, achieves 64% selectivity toward ethylene while suppressing hydrogen side‑reactions. By decoupling bulk pH from the interfacial environment, the approach combines the advantages of acidic and basic conditions, enabling carbon‑carbon bond formation at industrially relevant current densities. The team reports record selectivity and envisions scaling the technology to pilot‑scale electrolyzers for clean fuel production.
