Abstract

Understanding the role of the oxidation state of the Cu surface and surface-adsorbed intermediate species in electrochemical CO 2 reduction is crucial for the development of selective CO 2 -to-fuel electrocatalysts. In this study, the electrochemical CO 2 reduction mechanism over the Cu catalysts with various oxidation states was studied by using in situ surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS), in situ soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (Cu L-edge), and online gas chromatography measurements. The atop-adsorbed CO (CO atop ) intermediate is obtained on the electrodeposited Cu surface which primarily has the oxidation state of Cu(I). CO atop is further reduced, followed by the formation of C 1 product such as CH 4 . The residual bridge-adsorbed CO (CO bridge ) is formed on the as-prepared Cu surface with Cu(0) which inhibits hydrocarbon formation. In contrast, the CV-treated Cu electrode prepared by oxidizing the as-prepared Cu surface contains different amounts of Cu(I) and Cu(0) states. The major theme of this work is that in situ SEIRAS results show the coexistence of CO atop and CO bridge as the reaction intermediates during CO 2 reduction and that the selectivity of CO 2 -to-ethylene conversion is further enhanced in the CV-treated Cu electrode. The Cu catalysts modulated by the electrochemical method exhibit different oxidation states and reaction intermediates as well as electrocatalytic properties.

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.
