Regulating the complex environment accounting for the stability, selectivity, and activity of catalytic metal nanoparticle interfaces represents a challenge to heterogeneous catalyst design. Here we demonstrate the intrinsic performance enhancement of a composite material composed of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) embedded in a bottom-up synthesized graphene nanoribbon (GNR) matrix for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 . Electrochemical studies reveal that the structural and electronic properties of the GNR composite matrix increase the AuNP electrochemically active surface area (ECSA), lower the requisite CO 2 reduction overpotential by hundreds of millivolts (catalytic onset &gt; -0.2 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)), increase the Faraday efficiency (&gt;90%), markedly improve stability (catalytic performance sustained over &gt;24 h), and increase the total catalytic output (&gt;100-fold improvement over traditional amorphous carbon AuNP supports). The inherent structural and electronic tunability of bottom-up synthesized GNR-AuNP composites affords an unrivaled degree of control over the catalytic environment, providing a means for such profound effects as shifting the rate-determining step in the electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 o CO, and thereby altering the electrocatalytic mechanism at the nanoparticle surface.
