Facet-Dependent Selectivity of Cu Catalysts in Electrochemical CO₂ Reduction at Commercially Viable Current Densities

Despite substantial progress in the electrochemical conversion of CO₂ into value-added chemicals, the translation of fundamental studies into commercially relevant conditions requires additional efforts. Here, we study the catalytic properties of tailored Cu nanocatalysts under commercially relevant current densities in a gas-fed...

Suppressing H ₂ Evolution and Promoting Selective CO ₂ Electroreduction to CO at Low Overpotentials by Alloying Au with Pd

CO ₂ electroreduction is a promising technology to produce chemicals and fuels from renewable resources. Polycrystalline and nanostructured metals have been tested extensively while less effort has been spent on understanding the performance of bimetallic alloys. In this work, we study compositionally variant, smooth Au-Pd thin...

In-Situ Infrared Spectroscopy Applied to the Study of the Electrocatalytic Reduction of CO₂: Theory, Practice and Challenges

The field of electrochemical CO₂ conversion is undergoing significant growth in terms of the number of publications and worldwide research groups involved. Despite improvements of the catalytic performance, the complex reaction mechanisms and solution chemistry of CO₂ have resulted in a considerable amount of...
