Abstract

Significance: A most promising approach to boosting both efficiency and selectivity for electrochemical reduction of CO 2 (CO 2 RR) is using Cu 2 O-based electrodes, and the surface Cu + is believed to play an essential role that is totally unclear from both experiment and theory. We find that the surface Cu + by itself actually deteriorates the performance of CO 2 RR. Instead we propose a Cu metal embedded in oxidized matrix (MEOM) model and show that it is synergy between surface Cu + and surface Cu 0 present in the MEOM model that improves significantly the kinetics and thermodynamics of both CO 2 activation and CO dimerization, thereby boosting the efficiency and selectivity of CO 2 RR. The MEOM model serves as a unique platform for design of better electrocatalysts for CO 2 RR.

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.
