In a team of researchers at University of Science and Technology of China, partially oxidized atomic cobalt layers have been synthesized successfully and used to achieve efficient and robust CO2 elecrtoreduction to formate. Such a new process may provide a path to convert CO2 into useful fuels and thus help to alleviate energy crisis and global warming.
