Bohra, D. (author), Chaudhry, Jehanzeb H. (author), Burdyny, T.E. (author), Pidko, E.A. (author), Smith, W.A. (author)The environment of a CO2 electroreduction (CO2ER) catalyst is intimately coupled with the surface reaction energetics and is therefore a critical aspect of the overall system performance. The immediate reaction environment of the electrocatalyst constitutes the electrical double layer (EDL) which extends a few nanometers into the electrolyte and...journal article 2019

Bohra, D. (author), Ledezma Yanez, I.D. (author), Li, G. (author), de Jong, W. (author), Pidko, E.A. (author), Smith, W.A. (author)Ag is a promising catalyst for the production of carbon monoxide (CO) via the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>ER). Herein, we study the role of the formate (HCOO<sup>−</sup>) intermediate *OCHO, aiming to resolve the discrepancy between the theoretical understanding and experimental performance of Ag. We show that...journal article 2019
