Modulating Oxygen Affinity to Enhance Liquid Products for the Electrochemical Reduction of Carbon Monoxide by Jiayi Chen, Juan Manuel Arce‐Ramos, Ioannis Katsounaros, Emiel deSmit, Saifudin M. Abubakar, Yanwei Lum, Jia Zhang, Lei Wang

“…Our investigation highlights that the introduction of Zn promoted the emergence of a Cu/Zn heterojunction interface during COR. Density functional theory simulations were used to rationalize the observed differences in selectivity, revealing that interface plays a crucial role in diminishing the oxygen adsorption at the Cu‐sites and modifying the adsorption energy of COR reaction intermediates, consequently leading to enhanced selectivity toward liquid products.…”
