TLDR
A Pd-Cu bimetallic aerogel electrocatalyst has been developed for conversion of CO2 into CH3 OH and the superior performance results from efficient adsorption and stabilization of the CO2 radical anion, high Pd0 /PdII and CuI +Cu0 /CuII ratios, and sufficient Pd/Cu grain boundaries of aerogels nanochains.
Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CH3 OH is of great interest Aerogels have fine inorganic superstructure with high porosity and are known to be exceptional materials Now a Pd-Cu bimetallic aerogel electrocatalyst has been developed for conversion of CO2 into CH3 OH The current density and Faradaic efficiency of CH3 OH can be as high as 318 mA cm-2 and 800 % over the Pd83 Cu17 aerogel at a very low overpotential (024 V) The superior performance of the electrocatalyst results from efficient adsorption and stabilization of the CO2 radical anion, high Pd0 /PdII and CuI +Cu0 /CuII ratios, and sufficient Pd/Cu grain boundaries of aerogel nanochains

Investigating the Origin of Enhanced C2+ Selectivity in Oxide-/Hydroxide-derived Copper Electrodes during CO2 Electroreduction

TL;DR: This work finds that at the steady stage of CO2RR, the electrodes have all been reduced to Cu0, regardless of the initial states, suggesting that the high C2+ selectivities are not associated with specific oxidation states of Cu.

Size-dependent electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 over Pd nanoparticles.

TL;DR: A volcano-like curve of the turnover frequency for CO production within the size range suggests that CO2 adsorption, COOH* formation, and CO* removal during CO2 reduction can be tuned by varying the size of Pd NPs due to the changing ratio of corner, edge, and terrace sites.

Highly selective plasma-activated copper catalysts for carbon dioxide reduction to ethylene

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the roughness of oxide-derived copper catalysts plays only a partial role in determining the catalytic performance, while the presence of copper+ is key for lowering the onset potential and enhancing ethylene selectivity.
