We present a bioinspired strategy for enhancing electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction catalysis by cooperative use of base-metal molecular catalysts with intermolecular second-sphere redox mediators that facilitate both electron and proton transfer. Functional synthetic mimics of the biological redox cofactor NADH, which are electrochemically stable and are capable of mediating both electron and proton transfer, can enhance the activity of an iron porphyrin catalyst for electrochemical reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> to CO, achieving a 13-fold rate improvement without altering the intrinsic high selectivity of this catalyst platform for CO<sub>2</sub> versus proton reduction. Evaluation of a systematic series of NADH analogs and redox-inactive control additives with varying proton and electron reservoir properties reveals that both electron and proton transfer contribute to the observed catalytic enhancements. This work establishes that second-sphere dual control of electron and proton inventories is a viable design strategy for developing more effective electrocatalysts for CO<sub>2</sub> reduction, providing a starting point for broader applications of this approach to other multi-electron, multi-proton transformations.

Abstract Copper Alloy No. 185 has fairly high electrical and thermal conductivity in combination with good strength and hardnes. It is an age-hardening type of alloy containing nominally 0.10% silver; it formerly was known as one of the Chromium Copper alloys. Among its many applications are circuit breaker parts, electrode holder jaws, switch contacts and electrical and thermal conductors requiring greater strength than copper. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Cu-390. Producer or source: Copper and copper alloy mills.

Abstract ULTRONZE is a copper alloy also known as Olin Alloy 654. It bridges the gap between standard high-performance copper alloys and beryllium-copper alloys, thus enabling the design of parts with properties previously only attainable with more expensive materials. The alloy has superior stress-relaxation characteristics, good bend performance and excellent corrosion resistance. Among its typical uses are electrical connectors, fuse clips and relay springs. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and bend strength. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: Cu-417. Producer or source: Olin Brass.
