Abstract
Combining Cu and Ag via green electrodeposition results in formation of tree-like Cu–Ag clusters. Close interfacial contact between Cu and Ag is conducive to faster electron transfer, and their synergistic interaction improves electrocatalytic performance towards the CO 2 reduction reaction.
