Inhibited proton transfer enhances Au-catalyzed CO 2 -to-fuels selectivity
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Renewable electricity can be stored in the energy-dense bonds of carbon-based fuels via the electroreduction of CO 2 . CO 2 reduction in aqueous electrolytes suffers efficiency losses because of the simultaneous reduction of water to H 2 . Rational design of selective CO 2 -to-fuels catalysts requires direct knowledge of the electrode surface structure during turnover and how electrons and protons couple to direct product selectivity. Using model Au catalysts, we uncover the complex heterogeneity in CO surface binding equilibria and the differential proton coupling requirements for CO vs. H 2 production. We assemble the spectroscopic and kinetic data to construct a mechanistic model that predicts that impeding proton transfer to the surface is an effective strategy for improving CO 2 -to-fuels catalyst selectivity.

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.
