Dramatic differences in carbon dioxide adsorption and initial steps of reduction between silver and copper

Why This Paper Matters

• This paper contributes to the Quantum Chemistry research area in the Quantum Articles archive.
• It adds a 2019 reference point for readers tracking recent quantum research.
• The recycling of CO2 into storable chemicals is critical in order to mitigate climate change, although CO2’s inert nature has limited the reduction’s mechanistic considerations.
