Very excited to share our new work that is out now in
@naturecatalysis.bsky.social! We demonstrate that changing the electrolyte cation alters the electric field strength experienced by adsorbates, which in turn impacts the energetics of CO2 reduction. Check it out!

Organic electrolyte cations promote non-aqueous CO2 reduction by mediating interfacial electric fields - Nature Catalysis
Electrolyte cations have been shown to have a strong impact on reactivity in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction. However, most studies have been performed in an aqueous environment. Here the effect of var...

The Potential of Zero Total Charge Predicts Cation Effects for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction
Cation effects are frequently observed for electrochemical reactions that take place at strongly reducing potentials. But a clear understanding of when cation effects will be observed for chemistries ...
