Open AccessThe importance of a charge transfer descriptor for screening potential CO2 reduction electrocatalysts
It has been over twenty years since the linear scaling of reaction intermediate adsorption energies started to coin the fields of heterogeneous and electrocatalysis as a blessing and a curse at the same time. ...

Open AccessA unifying mechanism for cation effect modulating C1 and C2 productions from CO2 electroreduction
Electrocatalysis, whose reaction venue locates at the catalyst–electrolyte interface, is controlled by the electron transfer across the electric double layer, envisaging a mechanistic link between the electron...

Open AccessOn the importance of the electric double layer structure in aqueous electrocatalysis
To design electrochemical interfaces for efficient electric-chemical energy interconversion, it is critical to reveal the electric double layer (EDL) structure and relate it with electrochemical activity; none...

Open AccesspH effects on the electrochemical reduction of CO(2) towards C2 products on stepped copper
We present a microkinetic model for CO(2) reduction (CO(2)R) on Cu(211) towards C2 products, based on energetics estimated from an explicit solvent model. We show that the differences in both Tafel slopes and pH ...
