  MSE’s own Prof. Joel W. Ager, working in collaboration with Cambridge-CARES in Singapore, has used proton transfer-reactiontime-of-flight mass spectrometry (PTR-TOF-MS) for the real-time detection of the intermediates and products of electrochemical CO2 reduction. Using precise measurements of on onset potentials and the degree of 13C isotope discrimination, the eCO2EP team led by Prof. Ager was able to unravel…
