Elucidating the Structure of Ethanol-Producing Active Sites at Oxide-Derived Cu Electrocatalysts
(ACS, 2020-08-21)
The discovery of oxide-derived copper catalysts for CO2 electroreduction is an outstanding advance in the field of electrocatalysis. Their low overpotentials and improved selectivity towards C2 products make them unique. ...
Designing water splitting catalysts using rules of thumb: advantages, dangers and alternatives
(RSC, 2020-03-09)
Thermodynamic analysis of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) hints toward an intrinsic overpotential caused by the nonoptimal adsorption-energy scaling relation between OH and OOH. Consequently, nowadays it is a widely ...
Enhancing CO2 Electroreduction to Ethanol on Copper-Silver Composites by Opening an Alternative Catalytic Pathway
(ACS, 2020-03-16)
A fundamental question in the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is how to rationally control the catalytic selectivity. For instance, adding a CO-producing metal like Ag to Cu shifts the latter’s CO2RR selectivity ...
