Cation-Directed Mechanistic Bifurcation in Electrochemical CO2 Reduction: Rate-Determining Step Switching and Opposite Temperature Dependencies on Ni Single-Atom Catalysts
While electrolyte cations are widely recognized as a key regulator of electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2RR) activity, whether different cation classes merely modulate reaction rates or fundamentally redirect the underlying rate-determining step (RDS), and consequently the system's response to environmental variables,...
