Operando imaging reveals nanocatalyst reconstruction

Research output: Contribution to journalComment/debate

Abstract

Understanding the nature of structural evolution of Cu nanocatalysts during CO2 electroreduction is a long-standing question in catalysis science. Now, operando electron microscopy techniques correlated with X-ray spectroscopy and first-principles modelling demonstrate that the reaction products themselves drive the structural evolution in Cu nanocubes.
