Strategies for breaking molecular scaling relationships for the electrochemical CO<sub>2</sub> reduction reaction
Weixuan Nie, Charles C. L. McCrory
Abstract
For CO 2 reduction by molecular catalysts, beneficial decreases in overpotential ( η eff ) are often correlated with detrimental decreases in activity (TOF max ). This perspective explores design strategies to break these molecular scaling relationships.
