Abstract

A new strategy to modulate the electrocatalytic activity of copper towards CO2 reduction involving adsorption of acrylamide, acrylic acid and allylamine polymers is presented. Modification of electrodeposited copper foam with poly(acrylamide) leads to a significant enhancement in faradaic efficiency...
