Bicarbonate Is Not a General Acid in Au-Catalyzed CO₂ Electroreduction
We show that bicarbonate is neither a general acid nor a reaction partner in the rate-limiting step of electrochemical CO₂ reduction catalysis mediated by planar polycrystalline Au surfaces. We formulate microkinetic models and propose diagnostic criteria to distinguish the role of bicarbonate. Comp...
