Journal ArticleDOI
In Situ Formation of an Oxygen-Evolving Catalyst in Neutral Water Containing Phosphate and Co2+
TL;DR: A catalyst that forms upon the oxidative polarization of an inert indium tin oxide electrode in phosphate-buffered water containing cobalt (II) ions is reported that not only forms in situ from earth-abundant materials but also operates in neutral water under ambient conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
CO2 Reduction at Low Overpotential on Cu Electrodes Resulting from the Reduction of Thick Cu2O Films
Christina W. Li,Matthew W. Kanan +1 more
TL;DR: Modified Cu electrodes were prepared by annealing Cu foil in air and electrochemically reducing the resulting Cu(2)O layers, which resulted in electrodes whose activities were indistinguishable from those of polycrystalline Cu and a higher level of activity than all previously reported metal electrodes evaluated under comparable conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aqueous CO2 reduction at very low overpotential on oxide-derived Au nanoparticles.
TL;DR: Electrokinetic studies indicate that the improved catalysis is linked to dramatically increased stabilization of the CO(2)(•-) intermediate on the surfaces of the oxide-derived Au electrodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electroreduction of carbon monoxide to liquid fuel on oxide-derived nanocrystalline copper
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the ability to change the intrinsic catalytic properties of Cu for this notoriously difficult reaction by growing interconnected nanocrystallites from the constrained environment of an oxide lattice, demonstrating the feasibility of a two-step conversion of CO2 to liquid fuel that could be powered by renewable electricity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanistic studies of the oxygen evolution reaction by a cobalt-phosphate catalyst at neutral pH.
TL;DR: These electrokinetic studies suggest a mechanism involving a rapid, one electron, one proton equilibrium between Co(III)-OH and Co(IV)-O in which a phosphate species is the proton acceptor, followed by a chemical turnover-limiting process involving oxygen-oxygen bond coupling.
