Cover Feature: Physicochemical Analysis of Cu(II)‐Driven Electrochemical CO<sub>2</sub> Reduction and its Competition with Proton Reduction (Chem. Eur. J. 70/2024)
The Cover Feature depicts recent work on the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO with higher selectivity by employing CuII-based molecular catalysts. In their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202403321), S. K. Padhi and co-workers explain how they also observed the generation of H2 as a by-product due to 2 H++2 e− in the competitive proton reduction reaction. The kinetic phenomena reveal that the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) occurs prior to the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR).
