Phase Segregated Bimetallic Alloys As Electrocatalysts for Electrochemical Carbon Dioxide Reduction

Operating in tandem with renewable electricity supplies (i.e., wind or solar), electrochemical synthesis of chemical and fuel products from carbon dioxide (CO2) represents a sustainable method to fuel the energy needs of society. The primary shortcoming of this technology is the lack of catalysts that are both sufficiently active and selective. The ability to produce further reduced (> 2 electron) fuels and chemicals, such as hydrocarbons, …
