Figure Abstract

Caption

Carbenes were self-assembled onto the Ag-Cu2O surface via the in-situ deprotonation of imidazolium cations by generated OH- ions. The synthesized Ag-Cu2O-carbene catalyst exhibited a remarkable C2+ Faradaic efficiency. The improved performance is attributed to the enhanced tandem synergy induced by carbene bridging. Carbene modification enhances *CO spillover from Ag to Cu sites, increasing *CO coverage, while simultaneously lowering the *CO hydrogenation energy barrier to boost *COCHO formation.
