	abstract = {<p>Summary Electrolyzers designed to convert CO2 into carbon products typically rely on a gaseous CO2 feedstock or CO2-saturated electrolyte. We show herein that aqueous HCO3\&minus; solutions can also be electrochemically converted into CO gas at meaningful rates in a flow cell containing a bipolar membrane (BPM). Electrolysis\&nbsp;upon a N2-saturated 3.0\&nbsp;M KHCO3 solution yields CO with a faradic efficiency of 81\% at 25 mA cm\&minus;2 and 37\% at 100 mA cm\&minus;2, outputs that are comparable to the analogous experiment where the bicarbonate solution is saturated with gaseous CO2. This electrolytic process is made possible by the membrane delivering protons for reaction with the bicarbonate feed to form electrocatalytically active CO2. This reaction pathway offers the potential to use electrolysis to bypass the thermally intensive step of extracting CO2 from HCO3\&minus; solutions generated in carbon-capture schemes.</p>},

	title = {Electrocatalytic Alloys for CO2 Reduction},

	abstract = {<p>Abstract Electrochemically reducing CO2 using renewable energy is a contemporary global challenge that will only be met with electrocatalysts capable of efficiently converting CO2 into fuels and chemicals with high selectivity. Although many different metals and morphologies have been tested for CO2 electrocatalysis over the last several decades, relatively limited attention has been committed to the study of alloys for this application. Alloying is a promising method to tailor the geometric and electric environments of active sites. The parameter space for discovering new alloys for CO2 electrocatalysis is particularly large because of the myriad products that can be formed during CO2 reduction. In this Minireview, mixed-metal electrocatalyst compositions that have been evaluated for CO2 reduction are summarized. A distillation of the structure\&ndash;property relationships gleaned from this survey are intended to help in the construction of guidelines for discovering new classes of alloys for the CO2 reduction reaction.</p>},
