In the present study, a systematic investigation is performed to assess the relationship between electroplating parameters, pore morphology and internal surface area of copper deposits which are promising to serve as electrodes for electrochemical reduction reactions of carbon dioxide (CO2). A set of porous copper deposits are fabricated with the dynamic hydrogen bubble template method. The microstructural and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis demonstrate that current density, deposition time, and bath composition control pore size, strut size, and hence surface area which could be as high as 20 m2/g. Selected sets of porous copper electrodes are then employed in the electrochemical reduction reaction test to determine their conversion performance in comparison to a monolithic copper surface. From the gas chromatography (GC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis, porous copper is shown to provide higher rates of production of some important chemicals, as compared to copper foil electrodes. Porous copper with fern-like morphology serves as a promising electrode that yields relatively high amounts of acetaldehyde, acetate and ethanol. The study thus presents the opportunities to enhance the electrochemical reduction reaction of CO2 through microstructural engineering of the copper surface, which benefits both CO2 reduction and generation of chemical products of high value.

<p>The analysis presented in this manuscript helps bridge an important fundamental discrepancy between the existing theoretical and experimental knowledge regarding the performance of Ag catalysts for CO<sub>2</sub> electrochemical reduction (CO<sub>2</sub>ER). The results demonstrate how the intermediate species *OCHO is formed readily en-route the HCOO<sup>– </sup>pathway and plays a decisive role in determining selectivity of a predominantly CO producing catalyst such as Ag. Our theoretical and experimental approach develops a better understanding of the nature of competition as well as the complex interactions between the reaction intermediates leading to CO, HCOO<sup>–</sup> and H<sub>2</sub> during CO<sub>2</sub>ER.</p><p><br></p><p>Details of computational and experimental methods are present in the Supporting Information provided. </p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

<p>A manganese substituted Anderson type polyoxometalate, [MnMo<sub>6</sub>O<sub>24</sub>]<sup>9-</sup>, tethered with an anthracene photosensitizer was prepared and used as catalyst for CO<sub>2</sub> reduction. The polyoxometalate-photosensitizer hybrid complex, obtained by covalent attachment of the sensitizer to only one face of the planar polyoxometalate, was characterized by NMR, IR and mass spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry measurements show a catalytic response for the reduction of carbon dioxide, thereby suggesting catalysis at the manganese site on the open face of the polyoxometalate. Controlled potentiometric electrolysis showed the reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> to CO with a TOF of ~15 sec<sup>-1</sup>. Further photochemical reactions showed that the polyoxometalate-anthracene hybrid complex was active for the reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> to yield formic acid and/or CO in varying amounts dependent on the reducing agent used. Control experiments showed that the attachment of the photosensitizer to [MnMo<sub>6</sub>O<sub>24</sub>]<sup>9-</sup> is necessary for photocatalysis.</p><div><br></div>

Co2 Reduction Reaction

<div>Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to useful chemical and fuels in an energy efficient way is currently an expensive and inefficient process. Recently, low-cost transition metal-carbides (TMCs) are proven to exhibit similar electronic structure similarities to Platinum-Group-Metal (PGM) catalysts and hence can be good substitutes for some important reduction reactions. In this work, we test graphenesupported WC (Tungsten Carbide) nanocluster as an electrocatalyst for the CO2 reduction reaction. Specifically, we perform DFT studies to understand various possible reaction mechanisms and determine the lowest thermodynamic energy landscape of CO2 reduction to various products such as CO, HCOOH, CH3OH, and CH4. This in-depth study of reaction energetics could lead to improvements and develop more efficient electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction.<br></div>

A mechanism of the electrochemical reduction of β-(4-ethylbenzoyl)-α,β-dibromopropionic acid is suggested based on the results of classical polarography and polarography with Kalousek's switch and on the identification of the polarographically active intermediate products. The substance converts to β-4-ethylbenzoylacrylic acid on the electrochemical elimination of the bromine atoms, and the latter acid is reduced further to β-4-ethylbenzoylpropionic acid. The most negative polarographic wave corresponds to the reduction of the carbonyl group in the benzoyl part of the last acid.
