AbstractThe crucial role of electrolyte cations in CO2 electroreduction has received intensive attention. One prevailing theory is that through electrostatic interactions or direct coordination, larger cations such as Cs+ can better stabilize the key intermediate species for CO and multicarbon (C2+) product generation, for example, on silver and copper, respectively.

AbstractThe dynamic response of surface ligands on nanoparticles (NPs) to external stimuli critically determines the functionality of NP–ligand systems. For example, in electrocatalysis the collective dissociation of ligands on NP surfaces can lead to the creation of an NP/ordered-ligand interlayer, a microenvironment that is highly active and selective for CO2-to-CO conversion.
