The chemical process of CO2RR to produce C2+ products involves multiple electron-proton transfer steps, with the adsorption of CO intermediates being a critical key step. Cu is the only metal catalyst that efficiently reduces CO2 to multicarbon products, mainly due to its appropriate adsorption energy for CO intermediates. However, single copper catalysts often need help with challenges such as excessive overpotentials and poor selectivity, which limit their potential application in CO2 reduction. In recent years, electrochemical CO2 reduction using copper-based tandem catalysts has become an effective strategy to enhance the overall performance of CO2RR and is a hot topic in the research field. The electrochemical reduction pathway can be more accurately controlled through the associated cascade process, boosting the target product yield while decreasing the formation of by-products. This enhanced selectivity is significant for the synthesizing of chemicals with higher added value. This paper first describes the mechanism of applying a tandem strategy in electrochemical CO2RR. Subsequently, recent research advances, especially the application of tandem/cascade catalysts in improving the efficiency of electrochemical CO2RR and the related advanced engineering facilities, are summarized. Finally, the application prospects of the strategy are discussed, and insights and suggestions for future research directions are presented.
