Significance Electrochemical reduction of CO2 can convert CO2 emission back to value-added fuels and chemicals and store renewable electricity. Reducing CO2 to multicarbon products has attracted great interest because of their higher energy densities and associated economic values. We report here a promising strategy for steering CO2 electroreduction toward ethanol production by exploiting a surface-bound Ru polypyridyl carbene catalyst on an N-doped porous carbon electrode. We show the synergistic effects of Ru polypyridyl carbene for CO intermediate production with a porous carbon for C–C coupling that could boost ethanol production at relatively low overpotentials. The strategy provides insights on how to improve selectivity and efficiency for CO2 reduction toward multicarbon products.
