Sommario/riassunto

The process of familiarization with and adaptation to unfamiliar landscapes has been integral to colonization and settlement throughout human history. This innovative and important volume presents the archaeological and anthropological foundations of the landscape learning process. Contributions apply the related fields of ethnography, cognitive psychology, and historical archaeology to the issues of individual exploration, development of trail systems, folk knowledge, social identity, and the role of the frontier in the growth of the modern world. A series of case studies examines the arc

Introduction -- Literature Review -- Enhanced CO2-to-CH4 conversion via grain boundaries oxidation effect in CuAg systems -- Revealing real active sites in intricate grain boundaries assemblies on electroreduction of CO2 to C2+ products -- Stabilized Cuδ+-OH species on in situ reconstructed Cu nanoparticles for CO2-to-C2H4 conversion in neutral media -- Conclusion and Outlook.

Sommario/riassunto

The electrocatalytic reduction of CO₂ into high-value multi-carbon products represents a pathway toward carbon neutrality and sustainable chemical production. The transition from lab-scale studies to industrial-scale implementation helps bridge the gap theory and practice. This book explores the mechanism and functional design of electrocatalysts for CO₂ electroreduction, focusing on bridging the gap



between lab-scale research and industrial implementation. It investigates the role of grain boundary structures, oxidation states, and interfacial microenvironments in stabilizing Cu-based catalysts, which improve the production of multi-carbon products. Additionally, this work introduces new approaches to modulate copper oxidation states, leading to improved catalytic performance. By integrating fundamental insights with industrial feasibility, this book offers a guide for researchers and engineers to developing next-generation CO₂ electrolysis technologies, thereby contributing to carbon-neutral chemical manufacturing and sustainable energy solutions. In addition, this book: Bridges between lab-scale studies and industrial implementation, offering guidance for actual applications Provides information on catalysts’ design and modulation to help improve their selectivity and stability Serves as a resource for professionals working towards sustainable and carbon-neutral chemical manufacturing.
