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

“…In the presence of the cation–anion pairs (M+/X−), Eads of the pairs on hydrated Bi (Bi-2H) becomes more negative than that in the cases of anions or cations alone, particularly when the ionic radius of the paired cation and anion do not differ significantly. Such a synergistic effect of the mixed ions is also observed for the work function values. …”
