Abstract

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction to generate multicarbon products is of interest for applications in artificial photosynthetic schemes. This is a particularly attractive goal for CO 2 reduction by copper electrodes, where a broad range of hydrocarbon products can be generated but where selectivity for C–C coupled products relative to CH 4 and H 2 remains an impediment. Herein we report a simple yet highly selective catalytic system for CO 2 reduction to C ≥2 hydrocarbons on a polycrystalline Cu electrode in bicarbonate aqueous solution that uses N-substituted pyridinium additives. Selectivities of 70–80% for C 2 and C 3 products with a hydrocarbon ratio of C ≥2 /CH 4 significantly greater than 100 have been observed with several additives. 13 C-labeling studies verify CO 2 to be the sole carbon source in the C ≥2 hydrocarbons produced. Upon electroreduction, the N-substituted pyridinium additives lead to film deposition on the Cu electrode, identified in one case as the reductive coupling product of N -arylpyridinium. Product selectivity can also be tuned from C ≥2 species to H 2 (∼90%) while suppressing methane with certain N-heterocyclic additives.

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.
