Uncovering the nature of electroactive sites in nano architectured dendritic Bi for highly efficient CO2 electroreduction to formate
Abstract
Porous electrodes based on Bismuth dendrites (Biden) were fabricated using Dynamic Hydrogen Bubbling Templates (DHBT). Direct visualization of surface-active sites with the help of advanced transmission electron microscopic (TEM) imaging reveals the presence of abundant defect structures and high-index faceting, while selective decoration of low-index facets of Bi dendrites indicate that they are the most active Bi surface sites. The fabricated …
