Speciation of Cu Surfaces During the Electrochemical CO Reduction Reaction

Abstract

Cu-catalyzed selective electrocatalytic upgrading of carbon dioxide/monoxide to valuable multicarbon oxygenates and hydrocarbons is an attractive strategy for combating climate change. Despite recent research on Cu-based catalysts for the CO 2 and CO reduction reactions, surface speciation of the various types of Cu surfaces under reaction conditions remains a topic of discussion. Herein, in situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is employed to investigate the speciation of four commonly used Cu surfaces, i.e., Cu foil, Cu micro/nanoparticles, electrochemically deposited Cu film, and oxide-derived Cu, at potentials relevant to the CO reduction reaction in an alkaline electrolyte. Multiple oxide and hydroxide species exist on all Cu surfaces at negative potentials, however, the speciation on the Cu foil is distinct from that on micro/nanostructured Cu. The surface speciation is demonstrated to correlate with the initial degree of oxidation of the Cu surface prior to the exposure to negative potentials. Combining reactivity and spectroscopic results on these four types of Cu surfaces, we conclude that the oxygen containing surface species identified by Raman spectroscopy are unlikely to be active in facilitating the formation of C 2+ oxygenates in the CO reduction reaction.

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.
