Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to higher value hydrocarbons beyond C1 products is desirable for applications in energy storage, transportation, and the chemical industry. Cu catalysts have shown the potential to catalyze C-C coupling for C2+ products, but still suffer from low selectivity in aqueous solutions. Using density functional theory, we determined the energetics of the initial C-C coupling steps on different Cu facets for CO2 reduction. The calculations suggest the Cu(100) and stepped (211) facets to favor C2+ product formation over Cu(111). Through a metal ion battery cycling method, we fabricate high surface area Cu nanocube catalysts which preferentially expose (100) facets. These Cu nanocube catalysts present a 6-fold improvement in C2+ to C1 product ratio over polished Cu foils, with the highest C2+ Faradaic efficiency of over 60 % and H2 below 20 %, and a corresponding C2+ current density of more than 40 mA/cm2.
