Interfacial Electrochemical Methods: Overview

216
Interfacial electrochemical methods focus on the phenomena occurring at the boundary between an electrode and a solution, as opposed to bulk methods that concentrate on the solution's overall properties. These interfacial methods are classified as either static or dynamic based on the presence of a nonzero current in the electrochemical cell and the consistency of analyte concentrations. Static methods, such as potentiometry, measure the cell's potential without any significant current...

Reduction of Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation

11.8K
Alkenes undergo reduction by the addition of molecular hydrogen to give alkanes. Because the process generally occurs in the presence of a transition-metal catalyst, the reaction is called catalytic hydrogenation.
Metals like palladium, platinum, and nickel are commonly used in their solid forms — fine powder on an inert surface. As these catalysts remain insoluble in the reaction mixture, they are referred to as heterogeneous catalysts.
The hydrogenation process takes place on the...

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation

3.2K
Catalytic hydrogenation of alkenes is a transition-metal catalyzed reduction of the double bond using molecular hydrogen to give alkanes. The mode of hydrogen addition follows syn stereochemistry.
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...

Area of Science:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Catalysis

Background:

  • The electroreduction of carbon dioxide (CO2ER) faces challenges in achieving selective product formation.
  • Designing multimetallic nanocomposites can optimize CO coverage for tunable product selectivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel electrocatalyst for selective CO2 electroreduction to multicarbon products.
  • To investigate the potential-dependent selectivity of the developed catalyst.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of Ag and Zn codoped-SrTiO3 (ZAST) composite immobilized on carbon black (CB)-modified GCE (ZAST@CB/GCE).
  • Electrochemical conversion of CO2 in a CO2-saturated 0.5 M KHCO3 aqueous electrolyte.
  • Product analysis using NMR spectroscopy to determine selectivity.

Main Results:

  • The ZAST@CB/GCE electrode demonstrated potential-dependent selectivity for CO2ER.
  • Increased applied potential favored the formation of liquid products (acetone, alcohols) over hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).
  • A total Faradaic efficiency of 97% for liquid products was achieved at -0.6 V vs. RHE.

Conclusions:

  • The developed ZAST@CB/GCE composite is a highly selective electrocatalyst for CO2 to multicarbon product conversion.
