Isotopic labelling of water reveals the hydrogen transfer route in electrochemical CO2 reduction
Understanding the hydrogenation pathway in electrochemical CO2 reduction is important for controlling product selectivity. The Eley–Ri…
Modeling the impact of structure and coverage on the reactivity of realistic heterogeneous catalysts
Adsorbates often cover the surfaces of catalysts densely as they carry out reactions, dynamically altering their structure and reactivity. Understa…
Confined hot-pressurized water in Brønsted-acidic beta zeolite speeds up the O-demethylation of guaiacol
Biorefinery technologies that convert lignin into platform chemicals are essential to reduce our future dependence on fossil resources. In these te…
Organic electrolyte cations promote non-aqueous CO2 reduction by mediating interfacial electric fields
The electrochemical reduction of CO2 is sensitive to the microenvironment surrounding catalytic active sites. Although the impact of cha…
