Understanding the impact of nitrogen oxides, common contaminants in CO2 emission from industries is a key to commercializing CO2 electrolysis technologies. Here, the authors conduct an investigation of CO2 electroreduction on copper, silver, and tin catalysts in the presence of nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, or nitrous oxide.
