Understanding photoelectrochemical kinetics in a model CO2 fixation reaction†
Abstract
Kinetic studies of photo- and photoelectro-catalysis fixation of CO2 are rare. Herein, a typical CO2 reduction addition to trans-stilbene is studied. Through Tafel analyses, the reaction rate-determining step (RDS) is identified as the first step of an anion free radical generation from the substrate, and the reaction order is 0.5.
