A Tin Oxide‐Coated Copper Foam Hybridized with a Gas Diffusion Electrode for Efficient CO2 Reduction to Formate with a Current Density Exceeding 1 A cm−2

Small, Volume 18, Issue 50, December 15, 2022., 2022
High current density ( J) of formate simultaneously requires high values of total J and formate faradic efficiency (FEformate). The hybridizing of hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials greatly increases the thickness of the triple‐phase interface, increasing | J|total value.
