Claims14
A catalyst system for catalyzing conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into multi-carbon compounds, the catalyst system characterized in that the catalyst system comprises a boron-doped copper catalytic material, wherein the boron-doped copper catalytic material has a boron concentration that decreases with depth into the material, and further wherein the boron-doped copper catalytic material has a boron concentration of about 4-7 mol % proximate at the external surface of the catalyst and has a boron concentration below about 4 mol % beyond a depth of about 7 nm from the external surface;
- the boron concentration determined by Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry.
