Creating the right environment

Highly selective CO2 reduction electrodes are essential for the viability of CO2 electrolysis as a carbon utilization technology. New research demonstrates a strategy to control the selectivity of CO2 conversion by coating the electrocatalyst with thin bilayers of ionomers to tune the electrode microenvironment.

Automated summary

Research has shown that coating electrocatalysts with thin bilayers of ionomers can control the selectivity of CO2 conversion, thereby tuning the electrode microenvironment.
