Electrocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO₂) reduction to high-value chemicals driven by renewable energy provides an effective approach to reduce CO₂ emissions and meet energy demands. Cultivating talents with professional literacy in the new energy field is an important task for undergraduate institutions. In particular, the operation of laboratory scientific research instruments enables students to form a more intuitive understanding of the phase and microstructure of materials, thereby enriching their knowledge of the materials discipline. This study introduces scientific research projects into the innovative practice of materials majors. Through the design of this innovative practice, it aims to cultivate students' innovative thinking, improve their understanding of new energy materials, enhance their ability to use equipment and analyze and process data, help them better grasp international cutting-edge directions, improve their scientific research and innovation capabilities, and achieve the goal of integrating theory with practice.
