| Description |
We discovered using SECM of the electro-reduction of CO2 on a Au
substrate in CO2-saturated KHCO3 solutions that (i) formate comes
solely from the direct reduction of bicarbonate; and (ii) CO forms
only from CO2 reduction (under low pH conditions) and at higher
applied potentials. The results point to the possibility of the selective
reduction of CO2 to the formate product
