What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
Scientifically compelling and an extremely active field, with a credible 2026 JACS result showing temperature-programmable product selectivity, but performance is lab-cell and durability/scale-up evidence is the standing gap for the whole SAA-CO2RR class.
Next
Watch for >500-1000 h operational stability data and gram-/MEA-scale demonstrations of the SAA selectivity-switching effect before treating it as a deployable CO2-to-chemicals route; track the Nature Reviews Materials copper-stability agenda for the field's durability milestones.
