摘      要：Converting CO_(2) into high‐value fuels and chemicals by renewable‐electricitypowered electrochemical CO_(2) reduction reaction(CRR)is a viable approach toward carbon‐emissions‐neutral *** the thermocatalytic hydrogenation of CO_(2) at the solid‐gas interface,the CRR takes place at the three‐phase gas/solid/liquid interface near the electrode surface in aqueous solution,which leads to major challenges including the limited mass diffusion of CO_(2) reactant,competitive hydrogen evolution reaction,and poor product *** we critically examine the various methods of surface and interface engineering of the electrocatalysts to optimize the microenvironment for CRR,which can address the above *** effective modification strategies for the gas transport,electrolyte composition,controlling intermediate states,and catalyst engineering are *** key emphasis is made on the diverse atomic‐precision modifications to increase the local CO_(2) concentration,lower the energy barriers for CO_(2) activation,decrease the H2O coverage,and stabilize intermediates to effectively control the catalytic activity and *** perspectives on the challenges and outlook for the future applications of three‐phase interface engineering for CRR and other gasinvolving electrocatalytic reactions conclude the article.
