Lateral adsorbate interactions inhibit HCOO⁻ while promoting CO selectivity for CO₂ electrocatalysis on silver

Ag is a promising catalyst for the production of carbon monoxide (CO) via the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO₂ER). Herein, we study the role of the formate (HCOO⁻) intermediate *OCHO, aiming to resolve the discrepancy between the theoretical understanding and experimental performance of Ag. We show that...

Assessing Silver Palladium Alloys for Electrochemical CO₂ Reduction in Membrane Electrode Assemblies

The field of electrochemical CO₂ reduction has been transitioning to industrially relevant scales by changing the architecture of the electrochemical cells and moving away from the traditional aqueous H-cells to membrane electrode assemblies (MEA). The reaction environments in MEAs vary drastically from that of aqueous H-cells,...
