Oxygen-induced changes to selectivity-determining steps in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction
Abstract
The state of the electrocatalyst surface—including the oxidation state of the catalyst and the presence of spectator species—is investigated on Cu surfaces with density functional theory in order to understand predicted ramifications on the selectivity of CO2 reduction between CH4 and CH3OH.
