Abstract:Palladium, platinum, and their alloys are promising catalysts for electrochemical CO 2 reduction reactions (CO 2 RR), leading to the design of durable and efficient catalysts for the production of useful chemicals in a more sustainable way. However, a deep understanding of the CO 2 RR mechanisms is still challenging because of the complexity and the factors influencing the system. The purpose of this study is to investigate at the atomic scale the first steps of the CO 2 RR, CO 2 activation and dissociation me… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
