Insertion of MXene-Based Materials into Cu–Pd 3D Aerogels for Electroreduction of CO₂ to Formate

The electrochemical CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR) is an attractive method to produce renewable fuel and chemical feedstock using clean energy sources. Formate production represents one of the most economical target products from CO₂RR but is primarily produced using post-transition metal catalysts that...

Non-invasive current collectors for improved current-density distribution during CO₂ electrolysis on super-hydrophobic electrodes

Electrochemical reduction of CO₂ presents an attractive way to store renewable energy in chemical bonds in a potentially carbon-neutral way. However, the available electrolyzers suffer from intrinsic problems, like flooding and salt accumulation, that must be overcome to industrialize the technology. To mitigate flooding and salt...

CO₂ Electrolysis via Surface-Engineering Electrografted Pyridines on Silver Catalysts

The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO₂) to value-added materials has received considerable attention. Both bulk transition-metal catalysts and molecular catalysts affixed to conductive noncatalytic solid supports represent a promising approach toward the electroreduction of CO₂. Here, we report a combined...
