a Schematic of electrochemical carbon recycling in a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) -based electrolyser for CO2-to-CH4. b Schematic of key reaction pathways for CO2RR: hydrogenation to *CHO for CH4 production and C–C coupling to *OCCO leading to C2 generation. c Reaction energies for *CO hydrogenation to *CHO on Cu catalysts of various generalised coordination numbers. d Reaction energies for *CO coupling to *OCCO on Cu catalysts of various generalised coordination numbers.
