📄 Abstract（原文）
Abstract Electrocatalytic semi‐hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene (EHAE) using renewable electricity represents a promising alternative approach for ethylene production. However, its relatively low energy efficiency (EE) and insufficient electrocatalyst stability hinder its industrial applications. The conduct a techno‐economic analysis indicates that the EHAE process becomes profitable when the EE exceeds 22.8% at an industrial current density of 0.2 A cm−2. Herein, we report a novel electrocatalyst featuring firmly immobilized copper phosphide (Cu3P) nanoparticles on MXene nanosheets (Ti3C2/Cu3P) for a stable EHAE process at industrial currents using membrane electrode assembly (MEA) system. Specifically, the Ti3C2/Cu3P electrocatalyst achieves an EE of 23.0% at 0.2 A cm−2, demonstrating its potential for practical application and economic viability. The strong interactions between Cu3P and Ti3C2 MXene prevent the agglomeration and dissolution of Cu3P nanoparticles during long‐term EHAE process. Notably, in a 4 cm2 MEA, Ti3C2/Cu3P catalysts can sustain high performance for 100 h at 1.0 A with an ethylene Faradaic efficiency decay of only 0.051% per hour. Quasi in situ electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and theoretical calculations indicate that Ti3C2/Cu3P facilitates water dissociation and synergistically enhances the adsorption of acetylene and active hydrogen (H*), thereby accelerating the kinetics of EHAE process.
