Electrocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) — an emerging approach using electricity to produce useful molecules — has advanced enormously over the past ten years. However, to progress further, we must move away from the traditional static description of catalytic surfaces, argues Beatriz Roldan Cuenya.
