Alternating pulses enhance copper's role in converting CO₂ to valuable fuels Scientists from the Interface Science Department at the Fritz Haber Institute have studied how applying pulsed electric potential treatments to copper single crystal surfaces as model catalysts can improve their ability to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into fuels like ethylene and ethanol. The key to achieving selectivity tunability relies on the control of the pulsed-induced structural and chemical catalyst transformations. This research offers insights which could help to reduce CO2 emissions and produce renewable energy sources.

Molecular Catalyst Enables CO2 Electroreduction at 650 mA/cm2 CO Partial Current Density The electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO using renewable electricity offers a compelling pathway for greenhouse gas recycling. The two-electron, two-proton process is particularly attractive due to its operational simplicity and scalability, with copper- and silver-based nanomaterials being the most widely studied catalysts as the field approaches industrial maturity. However, achieving the necessary efficiency and stability for practical applications remains a significant challenge. Recently, molecular catalysts immobilized on conductive surfaces with carbon-based inks have emerged as highly tunable hybrid systems capable of remarkable selectivity. In this work, we report that a straightforward cobalt phthalocyanine complex, simply modified with a single trimethylammonium group, delivers outstanding CO2-to-CO conversion rates and selectivity, reaching a Faradaic efficiency of 93% at a total current density of 700 mA/cm2 (jCO = 650 mA/cm2) at neutral pH. Notably, CO selectivity above 90% was sustained for over 42 h at 150 mA/cm2, illustrating the potential of simply designed molecular catalysts for large-scale applications.
