Abstract

It is of great importance to design and develop highly active and selective electrocatalysts for the CO2reduction reaction (CO2RR). In this communication, we report an iodide-derived nanostructured silver catalyst (ID-Ag) as an excellent CO2RR catalyst that is able to electrochemically reduce CO2to CO with approximately 94.5% selectivity at the potential of -0.7 V in CO2-saturated 0.5 M KHCO3. This suggests that the highly electrochemical active surface area and adsorbed I-anions onto the surfaces of the electrode contribute to the enhanced activity and selectivity of the nanostructured Ag electrocatalyst toward CO2reduction.

Antibodies: Agglutination

Antibody-mediated agglutination is the clumping of cells in the presence of antibody, which binds multiple cells together. This enhances the clearance of pathogens. Find the latest research on antibody-mediated agglutination here.
