Abstract:
Four types of carbazole dendrimers were applied as modification molecules of Au surfaces to improve carbon dioxide electroreduction. The reduction properties depended on the molecular structures: the highest activity and selectivity to CO was achieved by 9-phenylcarbazole, probably caused by the charge transfer from the molecule to Au.
