Abstract
•CO-CO coupling is facile on Cu (100), (111), and (211).•A cation-induced electric field in the Helmholtz plane stabilizes the CO dimer.•High CO coverage and tensile strain further improve the rate of CO dimerization.•(211) has the largest propensity to co-adsorb *CO and *H, favoring C2 products.
