Materials Engineering PhD Candidate | Looking to work in sustainable energy and decarbonization including industrial research
My research paper is out in Journal of Materials Chemistry A! Titled "Covalency-aided electrochemical CO2 reduction to CO on sulfide-derived Cu–Sb", we reveal a sulfide-derived material that is able to produce, not HCOOH unlike CuSx-derived catalysts, but CO. We achieve a maximum Faradaic Efficiency for CO of 80.5%. We also include DFT calculations that show that sulfur on Sb sites strengthens *COOH binding while weakening *CO binding, which is similar to the "covalency-aided" mechanism revealed originally by Kim et al (2014).
