Operando NRIXS and XAFS Investigation of Segregation Phenomena in Fe‐Cu and Fe‐Ag Nanoparticle Catalysts during CO(2) Electroreduction

Operando nuclear resonant inelastic X‐ray scattering (NRIXS) and X‐ray absorption fine‐structure spectroscopy (XAFS) measurements were used to gain insight into the structure and surface composition of FeCu and FeAg nanoparticles (NPs) during the electrochemical CO(2) reduction (CO(2)RR) and to extr...

description Operando nuclear resonant inelastic X‐ray scattering (NRIXS) and X‐ray absorption fine‐structure spectroscopy (XAFS) measurements were used to gain insight into the structure and surface composition of FeCu and FeAg nanoparticles (NPs) during the electrochemical CO(2) reduction (CO(2)RR) and to extract correlations with their catalytic activity and selectivity. The formation of a core–shell structure during CO(2)RR for FeAg NPs was inferred from the analysis of the operando NRIXS data (phonon density of states, PDOS) and XAFS measurements. Electrochemical analysis of the FeAg NPs revealed a faradaic selectivity of 36 % for CO in 0.1 M KHCO(3) at −1.1 V vs. RHE, similar to that of pure Ag NPs. In contrast, a predominant selectivity towards H(2) evolution is obtained in the case of the FeCu NPs, analogous to the results obtained for pure Fe NPs, although small Cu NPs have also been shown to favor H(2) production.
