Predicting electrocatalytic urea synthesis using a two-dimensional descriptor by Amy Wuttke, Alexander Bagger

“…Furthermore, we identified the most suitable two-dimensional descriptors for selectivity prediction out of various adsorption energies calculated using density functional theory (DFT). We suggest that the adsorption energies of *H and *O on transition metal slabs predict the selectivity towards urea in the co-reduction of CO2 and nitrite ( $${{\rm{NO}}}_{2}^{-}$$ NO 2 − ).…”
