Dynamic surface reconstruction explains how copper sulfide catalysts tune CO₂ reduction
Copper sulfide (CuS) catalysts continuously reconstruct their surface during electrochemical CO2 reduction, reports a study from the Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan.
AI Summary
Researchers at the Institute of Science in Tokyo found that copper sulfide (CuS) catalysts undergo continuous surface reconstruction during electrochemical CO₂ reduction. By examining sulfur and oxygen dynamics under potential‑step electrolysis, they identified distinct roles for each element in influencing catalyst activity and product selectivity.
