TL;DR: The presented activity-selectivity-size relations provide novel insights in the CO2 electroreduction reaction on nanoscale surfaces and lend themselves well to density functional theory (DFT) evaluation and reaction mechanism verification.

TL;DR: It is shown that the H2/CO product ratio can be specifically tailored for different industrial processes by tuning the size of the catalyst particles, which favor the evolution of H2 over CO2 reduction to CO.

TL;DR: In this paper, the catalytic activity and selectivity of the electrochemical CO2 reduction on Cu overlayers with varying atomic-scale thickness on Pt was investigated, and the main products were hydrogen, methane, and ethylene.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of mesoscale descriptors, such as the interparticle distance, on the selectivity of nanoparticle (NP) catalysts during CO2 electroreduction.

TL;DR: A new photoreactor with defined irradiation geometry was developed and tested for the water reduction reaction using carbon nitride ("C(3)N(4)") as a photocatalyst and it is confirmed by experiments with D(2)O that hydrogen is obtained from the water splitting process and not by dehydrogenation of the sacrificial agent.
