Cations can improve CO2 reduction on molecular catalysts! In our latest paper, we show how cations (K+, Cs+) increase the selectivity of Co phthalocyanine (CoPc) in a bipolar membrane electrolyzer Online now in Philosophical Transactions A https://lnkd.in/eRbg4YDj UKRI CircularChem Alexander Cowan Eileen Yu Mohammad Danish Khan Surprisingly, cations only led to a small increase in *CO2 binding, which was one of the proposed mechanisms of selectivity enhancement. Instead, the enhancement is due to suppression of H+ transport, observed as higher local pH.
