Kinetic
analysis of Fe-based tetrapyrrole. (A) Structure of catalyst
studied: iron phthalocyanine (FePc, A). (B) Apparent bicarbonate order
dependencies at different voltages. (C) Apparent CO2 order
dependencies at different voltages. Points represent experimental
data, and lines represent model fits. Error bars represent standard
deviation with n ≥ 3. For all experiments,
voltages reported vs SHE, total ionic strength held constant using
NaClO4, and CO2 at 1 atm. (D) Mechanistic framework
that can explain the kinetic observations. Salient phenomena at less
reductive voltages are colored purple, and salient phenomena at more
reductive voltages are displayed in yellow.
