Abstract:Copper based catalysts have been shown to reduce CO2 electrochemically into hydrocarbons and oxygenates with high Faradaic efficiencies [1]. The selectivity and the efficiency of CO2 electroreduction could benefit from morphological studies on Cu nanocatalysts. Among several methods of fabricating Cu nanocatalysts, dealloying, i.e., the selective electrolytic dissolution of a less-noble element from an alloy [2], is one of the most flexible, controllable, and economical methods available to date. The product o… 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.
