CO Adsorption Dynamics during CO2 Electrolysis in Aprotic Organic Electrolytes

Qiucheng Xu

Carbon dioxide electrolysis (CO 2 E) in fully aprotic organic electrolytes primarily yields oxalate (C 2 O 4 2−), carbon monoxide (CO), and carbonate (CO 3 2−). To understand this system, we investigated the adsorption dynamics in the CO adsorption region ...

Can increasing the size and flexibility of a molecule reduce decoherence and prolong charge migration?

Jiri Vanicek, Alan Scheidegger

Coherent superposition of electronic states, created by ionizing a molecule, can initiate ultrafast dynamics of the electron density. Correlation between nuclear and electron motions, however, typically dissipates the electronic coherence in only a few fem ...
