Alloying as a strategy to boost the stability of Copper nanocatalysts during electrochemical CO₂ reduction reaction

Cu nano catalysts are among the most promising candidates to enable the up-conversion of CO₂ by means of electrochemical reduction. Yet, the lack of stability of Cu nano catalysts during electrochemical CO₂ reduction reaction represents a strong limiting factor in enabling their widespread use at the industrial level. The record gathers data related to the theoretical evaluation of the stability and activity of Cu-rich nano catalysts, in the presence of a second metal, namely Ga, whose amount varies between 5% and 30%.

铜纳米催化剂作为实现通过电化学还原将二氧化碳提升转化率的极具潜力的候选者之一，然而，在电化学二氧化碳还原反应过程中铜纳米催化剂的稳定性不足，成为其在工业级别广泛应用中的一个显著制约因素。本记录汇集了有关在存在第二金属（即镓）的情况下，铜富集型纳米催化剂稳定性及活性理论评估的数据，其中镓的含量介于5%至30%之间。
