On the Conversion Efficiency of CO2 Electroreduction on Gold

Abstract

Benjamin A. Zhang is a PhD student at Harvard University. His research focus is on the control of mass transport and concentration gradients in electrochemical reactions, in particular CO2 reduction, through nano- and mesostructuring of electrodes. Cyrille Costentin is Professor at Universite Paris Diderot. He received his undergraduate education at Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan and his PhD at Universite Paris Diderot. He is currently a Visiting Scientist in the group of D.G. Nocera at Harvard University. His interests include mechanisms and reactivity in electron transfer chemistry with particular emphasis on proton-coupled electron transfer and catalysis of electrochemical reactions. Daniel G. Nocera is the Patterson Rockwood Professor of Energy at Harvard University. His group studies mechanisms of biological and chemical energy conversion.
