Insights on Covalent Attachment of a Re Bipyridyl Catalyst onto <i>p</i> -Si(111) Using an Alkyl Linker for Photoelectrochemical CO <sub>2</sub> Reduction
, compared to ∼100% FE for CO observed in the homogeneous system. The selectivity shift is best explained by the dominance of HER at the native Si surface, while CO formation remains limited by slow EC kinetics at the active site of the immobilized Re complex.
