AI Article Synopsis
- This study explores the CO reduction reaction (CORR) using a bimetallic catalyst made of cuprous oxide (CuO) and silver (Ag) that is deposited together.
- The Ag deposits kept their unique structure during the reaction, while CuO was reduced to its metallic form, Cu(111), and adapted to the Ag framework, enhancing the catalyst's effectiveness.
- The results showed a significant production rate of 125.01 μmol h for liquid carbon compounds, emphasizing the potential of this design in sustainable chemical production without forming unwanted methane.
Article Abstract
In this study, we performed the CO reduction reaction (CORR) using a structural composite catalyst of cuprous oxide (CuO) and silver (Ag) that was simultaneously electrodeposited. While the underneath Ag electrodeposits maintained their spiky backbone structures even after the CORR, the CuO deposits were reduced to Cu(111) and relocated on the backbone template. The structural changes in CuO to Cu increase the active area of the Cu-Ag interface, resulting in a remarkable production rate of 125.01 μmol h of liquid C chemicals the stabilization of the C-C coupling of the key intermediate species of acetaldehyde. This study provides new insights into designing a bimetallic catalyst for producing sustainable C products from CO without any selectivity towards the production of methane.
