Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a new method to observe electrochemical reactions at the atomic level using a specially designed cell combined with electron microscopy. This technique has revealed significant insights into the behavior and degradation of copper catalysts used in CO2 reduction, potentially guiding the design of more efficient and durable catalyst systems.

“Previously, people relied on the initial surface structure to design the catalyst for both efficiency and stability. The discovery of the amorphous interphase challenges our previous understanding of solid-liquid interfaces, prompting a need to consider its effects when devising strategies,” said Zhang.
