Theoretical insight into effect of cation–anion pairs on CO₂ reduction on bismuth electrocatalysts by Sun Hee Yoon (7179263)

“…<p dir="ltr">This study presents theoretical insight into the mechanism of the CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR) to formic acid (HCOOH) on Bi (0 1 2) surfaces in the presence of alkali metal cations (M⁺: Cs⁺, K⁺, and Li⁺) and/or halide anions (X⁻: Cl⁻, Br⁻, and I⁻) using density functional theory (DFT). The adsorption energy (Eads) and work function (Wf) of the anions increases with decreasing anion size (i.e., Cl⁻ > Br⁻ > I⁻). …”
