Direct Observation on Reaction Intermediates and the Role of Bicarbonate Anions in CO2 Electrochemical Reduction Reaction on Cu Surfaces

Zhu, Shangqian, Jiang, Bei, Cai, Wen-Bin, Shao, Minhua·2017·Journal of the American Chemical Society

Abstract

Cu is the only monometallic catalyst that produces a large amount of hydrocarbon fuels during the CO 2 electrochemical reduction reaction (CO 2 RR). However, the CO 2 RR mechanism and the impact of electrolyte are unclear. In this communication, two important issues regarding the CO 2 RR on Cu surfaces are studied: (1) the direct observation on reaction intermediates and (2) the role of the electrolyte (KHCO 3 ) in the reaction. Surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy allows direct observation of several reaction intermediates that have never been detected before, except for the commonly detected CO. Another important finding is that CO 2 molecules are mediated to the Cu surface via their equilibrium with bicarbonate anions instead of direct adsorption from the solution. These results shed light on the full understanding of the CO 2 RR on Cu surfaces and developing more advanced catalysts.

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.
