Self-supported bimetallic array superstructures for high-performance coupling electrosynthesis of formate and adipate

Article, Research Article / By

The self-supported bimetallic array superstructures were constructed for high-performance coupling electrosynthesis of formate and adipate at the anode and cathode, respectively. Thanks to the unique nanostructure features and the promotion effect of adaptive reactions, the resulting electrocatalysts delivered remarkable performance for both CO2-to-formate and cyclohexanone-to-adipate conversion with high Faradaic efficiencies and current densities. Abstract: The …
