| Abstract: | It is known that carbon dioxide undergoes
electrochemical reduction to a variety of products like CO, hydrocarbons and
alcohols on metallic surfaces and that the nature of the metal has a role to
play in the observed selectivity of products. Rationalization of the results
obtained on different metallic surfaces and accounting for the selectivity have
been the points of contention in literature. This presentation examines these
aspects from the point of view of surface activation of carbon dioxide and
proposes a site specific and geometry constrained adsorption of carbon dioxide
as the possible reason for the variation in the results reported in literature. |
