Development of CuAg/Cu2O nanoparticles on carbon nitride surface for methanol oxidation and selective conversion of carbon dioxide into formate by Nazir, Roshan

“…The lower reduction potential of copper ([Cu+(aq) + e− → Cu(s)], + 0.52 eV) compared to Ag ([Ag+(aq) + e− → Ag(s)], +0.80 eV) makes Cu(0) easily exchangeable by Ag+ ions via galvanic exchange without applying any external bias. …”
