The significant implications of conducting electrochemical experiments accurately are further illustrated by comparing the electrolysis results obtained when potentials are recorded versus Ag/Ag+ reference electrode and when our devised protocol is applied (Figure 2.10). Figure 2.10 Electrolysis results for CO2 reduction at -1 mA/cm2 using Ag, Ni, and Zn electrodes in anhydrous acetonitrile. The electrolyte consisted of 0.5 mol% of MM NTf2. a, The reference solution contained 0.1 mol% (0.02 molar) of Ag OTf, and an Ag wire served as the pseudo-reference electrode. b, Potentials were corrected using the experimental protocol devised in this study, relative to the Ag/Ag+ reference. a b
