volts to –0.5?volts volts versus the reversible hydrogen electrode) in CO-saturated alkaline water. We have a solution to this problem that’s made of copper, which is cheap and abundant. Prior to our study, there was a sense that no catalyst could efficiently reduce carbon monoxide to a liquid. —Matthew Kanan.
