CO2 ELECTROCATALYSIS

Co-feeding copper catalysts couple carbon

Nature Nanotechnology volume 14, pages 1002–1003 (2019)Cite this article

Subjects

The mechanistic electrochemical mass spectrometry study of ethylene production on Cu-based nanocatalysts under CO2/CO co-feeds indicates the existence of separate, reactant-specific surface adsorption sites for CO2 and CO, which guided the design of a multi-component CO2RR electrocatalyst.
