Abundant (110) Facets on PdCu<sub>3</sub> Alloy Promote Electrochemical Conversion of CO<sub>2</sub> to CO
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Electrochemical conversion of CO2 to high-value chemical fuels offers a promising strategy for managing the global carbon balance but faces huge challenges due to the lack of effective electrocatalysts. Here, we reported PdCu3 alloy nanoparticles with abundant exposed (110) facets supported on N-doped three-dimensional interconnected carbon frameworks (PdCu3/NC) as an efficient and durable electrocatalyst for electrochemical CO2 reduction to CO. The catalyst exhibits extremely high intrinsic CO2 reduction selectivity for CO production with a Faraday efficiency of nearly 100% at a mild potential of −0.5 V. Moreover, a rechargeable high-performance Zn–CO2 battery with PdCu3/NC as a cathode is developed to deliver a record-high energy efficiency of 99.2% at 0.5 mA cm–2 and rechargeable stability of up to 133 h. Theoretical calculations elucidate that the exposed (110) facet over PdCu3/NC is the active center for CO2 activation and rapid formation of the key *COOH intermediate.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
