Molecular Tuning of Interfacial Electrocatalysis

Abstract

This project aims to develop strategies for promoting and tuning heterogeneous CO2 reduction catalysis via molecular control of proton transfer at the interface. As the studies detailed below showcase, we have uncovered the dramatic role of the proton donor in dictating CO2 reduction selectivity and have begun to control it at the molecular level using designer molecular proton donors.
