Catalysts and Reaction Pathways for the Electrochemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide

TL;DR: This Perspective highlights several heterogeneous and molecular electrocatalysts for the reduction of CO2 and discusses the reaction pathways through which they form various products, including copper, a unique catalyst as it yields hydrocarbon products with acceptable efficiencies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advances and challenges in understanding the electrocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide to fuels

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review recent advances and challenges in the understanding of electrochemical CO2 reduction and discuss existing models for the initial activation of CO2 on the electrocatalyst and their importance for understanding selectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Finding optimal surface sites on heterogeneous catalysts by counting nearest neighbors

TL;DR: “coordination-activity plots” are introduced that predict the geometric structure of optimal active sites on platinum (111) surface using a weighted average of surface coordination that includes second-nearest neighbors to assess optimal reactivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Theoretical considerations on the electroreduction of CO to C2 species on Cu(100) electrodes

TL;DR: DFT calculations are used to construct a mechanism for the electrochemical reduction of CO on Cu(100) that agrees with the experimental observations of pH independence in the formation of C2 species.
