Electrocatalytic Conversion of Carbon Dioxide to Fuels and Chemicals on Transition Metal Electrodes

In this study, we present our investigation of seven transition metal surfaces (Zn, Ag, Au, Cu, Ni, Pt, and Fe) for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to fuels and chemicals. Mechanistic insights will be presented along with a discussion of the principles that govern reaction activity and selectivity.
