Copper Carbonate Hydroxide as Precursor of Interfacial CO in CO2 Electroreduction

Shan Jiang et al.

Summary: Copper electrodes have shown excellent catalytic performance in the reduction of CO2, but the underlying reasons are not well understood. In this study, using operando Raman experiments, the researchers investigated the structures and molecular interactions at the electrode-electrolyte interface and discovered the formation of a copper carbonate hydroxide (CuCarHyd) that resembles malachite. It was found that the reduction of carbonate ions, bound to the metallic Cu electrode in the form of CuCarHyd structures, was the starting point of carbon reduction, challenging previous mechanistic models. The presence of CuCarHyd patches at catalytic potentials could be attributed to alkalization and local electrical potential gradients. These findings provide important insights into improving the efficiency of CO2 reduction reactions and understanding their mechanisms.

Understanding the complementarities of surface-enhanced infrared and Raman spectroscopies in CO adsorption and electrochemical reduction

Xiaoxia Chang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that surface enhanced infrared and Raman spectroscopies provide similar data on strongly binding surfaces, but probe different subpopulations of adsorbates on weakly adsorbing surfaces. The lack of scaling between derivatives of the dipole moment and the polarizability explains the different responses of infrared and Raman spectroscopies. The competitive adsorption of water on weak binding metals might contribute to the differences in infrared and Raman responses among metal surfaces. It is also found that only copper sites capable of adsorbing carbon monoxide in an atop configuration visible to surface enhanced infrared spectroscopy are active in the electrochemical carbon monoxide reduction reaction.

Selective and High Current CO2 Electro-Reduction to Multicarbon Products in Near-Neutral KCl Electrolytes

Xiao Zhang et al.

Summary: A stable and selective electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) to C2+ products was achieved using a Cu electrocatalyst on a hydrophobic gas-diffusion layer (GDL) electrode in near-neutral KCl electrolytes. The instability of the catalyst in alkaline media under cathodic CO2RR conditions was largely suppressed by using a near-neutral electrolyte, showcasing the potential for long-term stability in CO2RR applications.

Selectivity Control of Cu Nanocrystals in a Gas-Fed Flow Cell through CO2 Pulsed Electroreduction

Hyo Sang Jeon et al.

Summary: This study utilized a pulsed CO2 electroreduction reaction approach to adjust product distribution in a gas-fed flow cell for industrially relevant current densities. By comparing the selectivity of Cu catalysts under potentiostatic and pulsed electrolysis conditions, it was found that the enhanced product selectivity in the latter case can be attributed to structural modifications and local pH effects. The differences in catalyst selectivity were observed to influence the formation of specific products, such as C-2 and CH4, through morphological reconstruction and consumption of OH - species near the catalyst surface.
