Due to the increasing emission of CO2 from different anthropogenic activities, the conversion from CO2 to high-value multi carbon (C2+) production catalytic system has become the focus of interest for obtaining sustainable high-value multi carbon production by hydrogenation of captured CO2.[1] Currently, even though there are numbers of studies related to the synthesis of catalysts, the failure mechanism of catalysts during the catalysis process remains unclear. By introducing the in situ gas system to the (scanning) transmission electron microscope (S/TEM), the details of the catalyst degradation process can be studied in real-time at different gas environments. The thermal stability of catalysts in different gas environments could be mimicked. Among different kinds of noble metal catalysts, Cu has attracted more attention in the catalysis field since its low cost and unique applications in converting carbon dioxide/carbon mono
