Dual-Facet Mechanism in Copper Nanocubes for Electrochemical CO2 Reduction into Ethylene

Raffaella Buonsanti, Jianfeng Huang, Giulia Mangione

The product selectivity in the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide depends on the structure of the copper electrode. Cube-shaped copper catalysts, enclosed by {100} terraces, {110} edges, and {111} corners, exhibit a size-dependent enhanced only se ...

A methodology for characterizing the electrochemical stability of DLC coated interlayers and interfaces

Stefano Mischler, Patrik Schmutz, Roland Hauert, Emilija Ilic

DLC coatings are often deposited on Si and Cr based adhesion-promoting interlayers to mitigate stress at the DLC/substrate interface. Interlayers reduce the likelihood of mechanical coating delamination. However, their chemical stability at miniature DLC c ...
