Trends in oxygenate/hydrocarbon selectivity for electrochemical CO(2) reduction to C2 products

Nature Communications, 2022
Key mechanistic steps for selective CO(2) reduction over Cu into hydrocarbon versus oxygenated C2 products are identified by atomistic and microkinetic modeling. Variations in C and OH binding are found to predict catalytic selectivity of materials.
