Abstract
Understanding illumination-mediated kinetics is essential for catalyst design in plasmon catalysis. Here we prepare Pd-based plasmonic catalysts with tunable electronic structures to reveal the underlying illumination-enhanced kinetic mechanisms for formic acid (HCOOH) dehydrogenation. We demonstrate a kinetic switch from a competitive Langmuir-Hinshelwood adsorption mode in dark to a non-competitive type under irradiation triggered by local field and hot carriers. Specifically, the electromagnetic field induces a spatial-temporal separation of dehydrogenation-favorable configurations of reactant molecule HCOOH and HCOO- due to their natural different polarities. Meanwhile, the generated energetic carriers can serve as active sites for selective molecular adsorption. The hot electrons act as adsorption sites for HCOOH, while holes prefer to adsorb HCOO-. Such unique non-competitive adsorption kinetics induced by plasmon effects serves as another typical characteristic of plasmonic catalysis that remarkably differs from thermocatalysis. This work unravels unique adsorption transformations and a kinetic switching driven by plasmon nonthermal effects.

Abstract
Increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) from human activities is affecting the ecosystem and civilization as we know it. CO2 removal from the atmosphere and emission reduction by heavy industries through carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies to store or convert CO2 to useful products or fuels is a popular approach to meet net zero targets by 2050. One promising process of CO2 removal and conversion is CO2 electrochemical reduction (CO2ER) using metal and metal oxide catalysts, particularly copper-based materials. However, the current limitations of CO2ER stem from the low product selectivity of copper electrocatalysts due to existing knowledge gaps of the reaction mechanisms using surfaces that normally have native oxide layers. Here, we report systematic control studies of the surface interactions of major intermediates in CO2ER, formate, bicarbonate, and acetate, with CuO nanoparticles in situ and in real time using attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). Spectra were collected as a function of concentration, pH, and time in the dark and the in absence of added electrolytes. Isotopic exchange experiments were also performed to elucidate the type of surface complexes from H/D exchange. Our results show that the organics and bicarbonate form mostly outer-sphere complexes mediated by hydrogen bonding with CuO nanoparticles with Gibbs free energy of adsorption of about -25 kJ mol-1. The desorption kinetics of the surface species indicated relatively fast and slow regions reflective of the heterogeneity of sites that affect the strength of hydrogen bonding. These results suggest that hydrogen bonding, whether intermolecular or with surface sites on CuO nanoparticles, might be playing a more important role in the CO2ER reaction mechanism than previously thought, contributing to the lack of product selectivity.

Abstract
With the emergence of methods for computing rate constants for elementary reaction steps of catalytic reactions, benchmarking their accuracy becomes important. The unimolecular dehydrogenation of adsorbed formate on metal surfaces serves as a prototype for comparing experiment and theory. Previously measured pre-exponential factors for CO2 formation from formate on metal surfaces, including Cu(110), are substantially higher than expected from the often used value of k B T/h, or ∼6 × 1012 s-1, suggesting that the entropy of the transition state is higher than that of the adsorbed formate. Herein, the rate constant parameters for formate decomposition on Au(110) and Cu(110) are addressed quantitatively by both experiment and theory and compared. A pre-exponential factor of 2.3 × 1014 s-1 was obtained experimentally on Au(110). DFT calculations revealed the most stable configuration of formate on both surfaces to be bidentate and the transition states to be less rigidly bound to the surface compared to the reactant state, resulting in a higher entropy of activation and a pre-exponential factor exceeding k B T/h. Though reasonable agreement is obtained between experiment and theory for the pre-exponential factors, the activation energies determined experimentally remain consistently higher than those computed by DFT using the GGA-PBE functional. This difference was largely erased when the metaGGA-SCAN functional was applied. This study provides insight into the underlying factors that result in the relatively high pre-exponential factors for unimolecular decomposition on metal surfaces generally, highlights the importance of mobility for the transition state, and offers vital information related to the direct use of DFT to predict rate constants for elementary reaction steps on metal surfaces.
