Electrochemical promotion of catalysis (EPOC) has been shown to accelerate the rate of many heterogeneous catalytic reactions; however, it has rarely been reported in low-temperature aqueous electrochemical reactions. Herein, we report a significant EPOC effect for the CO<sub>2</sub> reduction to generate formate over Pd nanoparticles (NPs) in a 1 M KHCO<sub>3</sub> aqueous solution. By applying a negative potential over differently-sized Pd NPs, the rate of formate production is greatly improve ...[more]
