Why surface hydrophobicity promotes CO 2 electroreduction: a case study of hydrophobic polymer N -heterocyclic carbenes

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: diffusion and subsequent reduction in the presence of hydrophobic polymers. Furthermore, NHCs exhibited reasonable stability under reductive conditions, preserving the structural integrity of AuNPs, unlike thiol-ended polymers. The combination of NHC binding motifs with hydrophobic polymers provides valuable insights into controlling the microenvironment of metal nanocatalysts, offering a bioinspired strategy for the design of artificial metalloenzymes.
