Journal ArticleDOI

Designing an improved transition metal phosphide catalyst for hydrogen evolution using experimental and theoretical trends

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate a combined experimental-theoretical approach to synthesize different transition metal phosphides and compare experimentally determined HER activities with the hydrogen adsorption free energies, calculated by density functional theory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Theoretical insights into a CO dimerization mechanism in CO2 electroreduction

TL;DR: DFT simulations that demonstrate the ability of Cu to catalyze CO dimerization in CO2 and CO electroreduction with cations other than H(+) are presented, a finding that is consistent with the experimentally observed pH independence of C2 formation on Cu.
Journal ArticleDOI

Promoter Effects of Alkali Metal Cations on the Electrochemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide.

TL;DR: Density functional theory calculations show that the alkali metal cations influence the distribution of products formed as a consequence of electrostatic interactions between solvated cations present at the outer Helmholtz plane and adsorbed species having large dipole moments.
