However, fabricating high surface coverage of NPs with minimized exposure of the carbon substrate is essential for various electrochemical applications and has been a critical limitation in CTS method. Here, we developed a methodology for creating NPs with high surface coverage on a carbon substrate by maximizing defect sites of cellulose during CTS. Cu NPs with high surface coverage of similar to 85%, various single NPs and polyelemental alloy NPs were densely fabricated with high uniformity and dispersity. The synthesized Cu NPs on cellulose/carbon paper substrate were used in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction showing selectivity to ethylene of similar to 49% and high stability for over 30 hours of reaction. Our cellulose-derived CTS method enables the greater availability of polyelemental NPs for a wide range of catalytic and electrochemical applications.
