Key to C2 production: selective C–C coupling for electrochemical CO2 reduction on copper alloy surfaces

Abstract

The C–C coupling kinetic variations are observed on Cu alloys with Pt, Pd, or Au surface sites. The OC–COH coupling is kinetically more favorable than OC–CHO coupling, which originates from increased reactivity of adsorbed *CO species. Linear energy relations for C–C association/dissociation could simplify the energetic evaluation for C2 production.
