Surface Coverage as an Important Parameter for Predicting Selectivity Trends in Electrochemical CO₂ Reduction

The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is important for a sustainable future. Key insights into the reaction pathways have been obtained by density functional theory (DFT) analysis, but so far, DFT has been unable to give an overall understanding of selectivity trends without important caveats. We show that an unconsidered...
