Tandem effect of Ag@C@Cu catalysts enhances ethanol selectivity for electrochemical CO2 reduction in flow reactors

Andreas Züttel, Thi Ha My Pham, Cedric David Koolen, Wen Luo, Jie Zhang, Mo Li, Youngdon Ko, Liping Zhong

CO-selective metals (e.g., Ag) on Cu catalysts improve the selec-tivity of multi-carbon (C2+) products in electrochemical CO2 reduc-tion. However, the origin of the improvement remains unclear due to the convolution of tandem and interface effects. Here, A ...

Theory-Guided Enhancement of CO2 Reduction to Ethanol on Ag-Cu Tandem Catalysts via Particle-Size Effects

Raffaella Buonsanti, James Richard Pankhurst, Pranit Srinivas Iyengar

In the CO2 reduction reaction, the design of electrocatalysts that selectively promote alcohols over hydrocarbons (e.g., ethanol over ethylene) hinges on the understanding of the pathways and specific sites that form alcohols. Herein, theoretical considera ...
