Chemical Modifications of Ag Catalyst Surfaces with Imidazolium Ionomers Modulate H₂ Evolution Rates during Electrochemical CO₂ Reduction

Bridging polymer design with catalyst surface science is a promising direction for tuning and optimizing electrochemical reactors that could impact long-term goals in energy and sustainability. Particularly, the interaction between inorganic catalyst surfaces and organic-based ionomers provides an avenue to both steer reaction selectivity and promote activity. Here, we studied the role of imidazolium-based ionomers for electrocatalytic CO2...
