Insights into CC Coupling in CO2 Electroreduction on Copper Electrodes

Montoya, Joseph H., Peterson, Andrew A., Nørskov, Jens K.·2013·ChemCatChem

Abstract

We present a first‐principles theoretical study of carbon–carbon coupling in CO 2 electroreduction on the copper 2 1 1 surface. Using DFT, we have determined kinetic barriers to the formation of a CC bond between adsorbates derived from CO. The results of our nudged elastic band calculations demonstrate that kinetic barriers to CC coupling decrease significantly with the degree of hydrogenation of reacting adsorbates. We also show that this trend is not affected by the electrical fields present at the solid‐electrolyte interface during electrocatalysis. Our results explain how copper can catalyze the production of higher hydrocarbons and oxygenates in the electrochemical environment, despite producing only single carbon atom products in gas‐phase catalysis, and how CC bonds can be formed at room temperature in the electrochemical environment, whereas substantially higher temperatures are needed in the Fischer–Tropsch catalysis. The unique feature of the electrochemical environment is that the chemical potential of hydrogen (electrons and protons) can be varied through the applied potential. This allows a variation of the degree of hydrogenation of the reactants and thus the activation barrier for CC coupling.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
