Abstract

Correction for ‘Understanding cation effects in electrochemical CO2 reduction’ by Stefan Ringe et al., Energy Environ. Sci., 2019, 12, 3001–3014.

In the original version of the manuscript, the fit function presented in the caption of Fig. 7 for the hydrated ions was wrong. The correct function was −2.2x + 7.2 (change highlighted in bold). Therefore the x-axis positions of the different cations in Fig. S17 which were obtained from this correlation function were also wrong. The correct Figure is as follows:

Fig. 1 Predicted cation effects for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction at Ag(111) surfaces. The Figure depicts the predicted CO partial current density for AxB electrolytes having a cation[thin space (1/6-em)]:[thin space (1/6-em)]anion charge ratio of z[thin space (1/6-em)]:[thin space (1/6-em)]zx as a function of the hydrated cation size relative to that of TBA+ obtained from the linear fit in Fig. 7.

In addition, Fig. 6a used the wrong cation sizes for the organic cation data points. The updated Figure is given below:

Fig. 2 (a) Double layer capacitance at the Au(111) single-crystal electrode using a 0.05 M KHCO3 or NaHCO3 electrolyte. (a) Potential-dependence of the double layer capacitance obtained from fitting a RC circuit to the impedance data. Filled circles denote the data points, the solid gray line the difference in surface charge density between both experiments under the assumption of the same PZC of 0.97 V vs. RHE.1

Previous studies electrodeposited a Ag monolayer on Pt or Au and found the PZC to be up to 0.25 V more positive compared to Ag(111).2

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
