Design of alloy electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction: Improved energy efficiency, selectivity, and reaction rate for the CO2 electroreduction on Cu alloy electrodes

The purpose of this preliminary note is to report the significant improvement that alloying of Cu with the other metals has on the energy efficiency, selectivity, and reaction rate for the reduction of CO 2 , based on a design concept which will be described elsewhere
