Solar-driven CO2 reduction into value-added C2+ chemical fuels, such as C2 H4 , is promising in meeting the carbon-neutral future, yet the performance is usually hindered by the high energy barrier of the C─C coupling process. Here, an efficient and stabilized Cu(I) single atoms-modified W18 O49 nanowires (Cu1 /W18 O49 ) photocatalyst with asymmetric Cu─W dual sites is reported for selective photocatalytic CO2 reduction to C2 H4 . The interconversion between W(V) and W(VI) in W18 O49 ensures the stability of Cu(I) during the photocatalytic process...
