a CO2-TPD of BDD, EMBDD, and EMBDD-NH2. b In situ ATR-SEIRAS recorded at different applied potentials for the EMBDD-NH2 in 0.1 M KHCO3 electrolyte. c Normalized CO coverage obtained from the CO band in ATR-SEIRAS of EMBDD and EMBDD-NH2 as a function of time. d Acetate yield by CO reduction on EMBDD and EMBDD-NH2 at various applied potentials (vs. RHE) in 0.1 M KHCO3 (pH = 8.52) at room temperature (25 °C) without iR compensation. The error bars represent the standard deviations from at least three independent measurements. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
