Summary:It is important to investigate the electrochemical reduction reaction of CO 2 on the catalytic selectivity dependence the materials because it might be guideline to create a co-catalyst of photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. Widely studied electrocatalysts for electrochemical CO 2 reduction are precious metals, such as Pd, Ag, and Au. It is known that precious metals can efficiently reduce the CO 2 to carbon monoxide (CO) or formate (HCOO-). In particular, Pd nano-particles (Pd NPs) was proved as a unique electrocatalyst for CO 2 reduction. HCOO - and CO generation for electrochemical reduction of CO2 on Pd NPs can be observed at low and high potential region, respectively. It should be believed that high selectivity towards CO formation can be realized by a formation of bimetallic compounds with transition metals in Pd structure.
