This work applies a case-study driven approach to unravel how the structure of metal-based catalysts affects their performance in the electrochemical reduction of CO2. Through a multimodal approach, it was examined how these catalysts change during operation and how these transformations influence efficiency and stability. Gaining insight into this relationship helps guide the design of improved catalysts, bringing electrochemical CO2 conversion closer to sustainable industrial application.
