Interfacial solvation-structure effects of molecularly dispersed CoPc catalysts on CO2 electrochemical conversion

Abstract

Heterogenized molecular electrocatalysts offer the potential to convert waste into valuable products, but the effect of molecular dispersion states on catalytic processes is poorly understood. Reporting recently in Nature Catalysis, Baker and co-workers investigate how molecular solvation structure and cation coordination affect the activity and selectivity of electrocatalytic CO₂ reduction.
