Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to ethanol is a promising strategy for global warming mitigation and resource utilization. However, due to the intricacy of C─C coupling and multiple proton–electron transfers, CO2‐to‐ethanol conversion remains a great challenge with low activity and selectivity. Herein, it is reported a P‐doped graphene aerogel as a self‐supporting electrocatalyst for CO2 reduction to ethanol. High ethanol Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 48.7% and long stability of 70 h are achieved at −0.8 VRHE. Meanwhile, an outstanding ethanol yield of 14.62 µmol h−1 cm−2 can be obtained, outperforming most reported electrocatalysts. In situ Raman spectra indicate the important role of adsorbed *CO intermediates in CO2‐to‐ethanol conversion. Furthermore, the possible active sites and optimal pathway for ethanol formation are revealed by density functional theory calculations. The graphene zigzag edges with P doping enhance the adsorption of *CO intermediate and increase the coverage of *CO on the catalyst surface, which facilitates the *CO dimerization and boosts the EtOH formation. In addition, the hierarchical pore structure of P‐doped graphene aerogels exposes abundant active sites and facilitates mass/charge transfer. This work provides inventive insight into designing metal‐free catalysts for liquid products from CO2 electroreduction.
