Journal ArticleDOI
Electrocatalytic and homogeneous approaches to conversion of CO2 to liquid fuels
TL;DR: This tutorial review will present much of the significant work that has been done in the field of electrocatalytic and homogeneous reduction of carbon dioxide over the past three decades and extend the discussion to the important conclusions from previous work and recommendations for future directions to develop a catalytic system that will convert carbon dioxide to liquid fuels with high efficiencies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Manganese as a Substitute for Rhenium in CO2 Reduction Catalysts: The Importance of Acids
Jonathan M. Smieja,Matthew D. Sampson,Kyle A. Grice,Eric E. Benson,Jesse D. Froehlich,Clifford P. Kubiak +5 more
TL;DR: When compared to the analogous Re catalysts, the Mn catalysts operate at a lower overpotential and exhibit similar catalytic activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Balancing the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction, Surface Energetics, and Stability of Metallic MoS2 Nanosheets via Covalent Functionalization
Eric E. Benson,Hanyu Zhang,Samuel A. Schuman,Sanjini U. Nanayakkara,Noah D. Bronstein,Suzanne Ferrere,Jeffrey L. Blackburn,Elisa M. Miller +7 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the electron density and, therefore, reactivity of the MoS2 nanosheets are controlled by the attached functional groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetic and structural studies, origins of selectivity, and interfacial charge transfer in the artificial photosynthesis of CO
Jonathan M. Smieja,Eric E. Benson,Bhupendra Kumar,Kyle A. Grice,Candace S. Seu,Alexander J. M. Miller,James M. Mayer,Clifford P. Kubiak +7 more
TL;DR: The effects of electrode surface modification on interfacial electron transfer between a semiconductor and catalyst were investigated and found to affect the observed current densities for catalysis more than threefold, indicating that the properties of the electrode surface need to be addressed when developing a homogeneous artificial photosynthetic system.
Journal ArticleDOI
A facile solvothermal growth of single crystal mixed halide perovskite CH3NH3Pb(Br1−xClx)3
Taiyang Zhang,Mengjin Yang,Eric E. Benson,Zijian Li,Jao van de Lagemaat,Joseph M. Luther,Yanfa Yan,Kai Zhu,Yixin Zhao +8 more
TL;DR: Interestingly, the Cl/Br ratio in the (CH3NH3)Pb(Br1-xClx)3 single crystals is larger than that of the precursor solution, suggesting an unusual crystal growth mechanism.
