Abstract

Copper electrodes, prepared by reduction of oxidized metallic copper, have been reported to exhibit higher activity for the electrochemical reduction of CO 2 and better selectivity toward C 2 and C 3 (C 2+ ) products than metallic copper that has not been preoxidized. We report here an investigation of the effects of four different preparations of oxide-derived electrocatalysts on their activity and selectivity for CO 2 reduction, with particular attention given to the selectivity to C 2+ products. All catalysts were tested for CO 2 reduction in 0.1 M KHCO 3 and 0.1 M CsHCO 3 at applied voltages in the range from −0.7 to −1.0 V vs RHE. The best performing oxide-derived catalysts show up to ∼70% selectivity to C 2+ products and only ∼3% selectivity to C 1 products at −1.0 V vs RHE when CsHCO 3 is used as the electrolyte. In contrast, the selectivity to C 2+ products decreases to ∼56% for the same catalysts tested in KHCO 3 . By studying all catalysts under identical conditions, the key factors affecting product selectivity could be discerned. These efforts reveal that the surface area of the oxide-derived layer is a critical parameter affecting selectivity. A high selectivity to C 2+ products is attained at an overpotential of −1 V vs RHE by operating at a current density sufficiently high to achieve a moderately high pH near the catalyst surface but not so high as to cause a significant reduction in the local concentration of CO 2 . On the basis of recent theoretical studies, a high pH suppresses the formation of C 1 relative to C 2+ products. At the same time, however, a high local CO 2 concentration is necessary for the formation of C 2+ products.

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.
