Here, we report a hierarchically porous Cu1Au single-atom alloy(SAA) as an efficient electrocatalyst for CO_(2) reduction. Benefiting from the hierarchically porous architectures with abundant vacancies as well as three-dimensional accessible active sites, the as-prepared nanoporous Cu1Au SAA catalyst shows remarkable CO_(2) reduction performance with nearly 100% CO Faraday efficiency in a wide potential range(-0.4 to -0.9 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode. The in-situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy studies and density functional theory calculations reveal that the Cu-Au interface sites serve as the intrinsic active centers,which can facilitate the activated adsorption of CO_(2) and stabilize the *COOH intermediate.展开更多
