In this study, we performed the CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) using a structural composite catalyst of cuprous oxide (Cu 2 O) and silver (Ag) that was simultaneously electrodeposited. While the underneath Ag electrodeposits maintained their spiky backbone structures even after the CO 2 RR, the Cu 2 O deposits were reduced to Cu(111) and relocated on the backbone template. Here, the structural changes in Cu 2 O to Cu increase the active area of the Cu–Ag interface, resulting in a remarkable production rate of 125.01 μmol h -1 of liquid C 2+ chemicals via the stabilization of the C–C coupling of the key intermediate species of acetaldehyde. This study provides new insights into designing a bimetallic catalyst for producing sustainable C 2+ products from CO 2 without any selectivity towards the production of methane.
