Abstract The electrochemical CO2 (eCO2)‐to‐multicarbon conversion with higher value is
regarded as a potential way to promote the transformation of industrial production and the …

The identity of alkali metal cations in the electrolyte of electrocatalysis systems has been
recently introduced as a crucial factor to tailor the kinetics and Faradaic efficiency of many …

Tuning the properties of the electric double layer via cations is a recognized approach for
improving the efficiency of the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). However, the mechanism …

When an electrode contacts an electrolyte, an interfacial electric field forms. This interfacial
field can polarize the electrode's surface and nearby molecules, but its effect can be …

The underlying mechanism of cation effects on CO2RR remains debated. Herein, we study
cation effects by simulating both outer-sphere electron transfer (OS-ET) and inner-sphere …

Membrane electrode assemblies enable CO2 electrolysis at industrially relevant rates, yet
their operational stability is often limited by formation of solid precipitates in the cathode …

A considerable carbon loss of CO2 electroreduction in neutral and alkaline media severely
limits its industrial viability as a result of the homogeneous reaction of CO2 and OH–under …

Balancing the activation of H2O is crucial for highly selective CO2 electroreduction
(CO2RR), as the protonation steps of CO2RR require fast H2O dissociation kinetics, while …

Formic acid is receiving intensive attention as being one of the most progressive chemical
fuels for the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide. However, the majority of catalysts …

Electrochemical CO 2 reduction is a typical surface-mediated reaction, with its reaction
kinetics and product distributions largely dependent on the dynamic evolution of reactive …
