The selective reduction of CO 2 to ethanol at a B‐ and N‐co‐doped nanodiamond electrode is reported by X. Quan et al. in their Communication on page 15607 ff. The electrode is highly active for the production of ethanol with a high Faradaic efficiency of 93.2 %. The uncovered factors for tailoring the ethanol selectivity and CO 2 reduction mechanism are valuable for converting CO 2 into multicarbon fuels.
