Congratulations to our partners at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) for their recent study published in Nature Communications! Gumaa A. El-Nagar, Flora Haun, Siddharth Gupta, Sasho Stojkovikj, Professor Matthew T. Mayer in the Helmholtz Young Investigator Group “Electrochemical Conversion of CO2” saw their paper titled  "Unintended cation crossover influences CO2 reduction selectivity in Cu-based zero-gap electrolysers" published on April 12th, 2023.

Within FlowPhotoChem, the HZB partners target the development of new electrochemical pathways to upgrade CO2 to high-value products. Their approach combines the synthesis of new materials based on mixed metal alloys, oxides, nitrides, and sulfides with a detailed in situ study of catalytic activity, product selectivity, and electrode surface structures.
