Title:
Controlling Electrocatalytic Properties via Tuneable Virus Mediated Synthesis
Abstract:
Electrocatalytic processes such as carbon dioxide reduction and glycerol oxidation have the potential to directly reduce unwanted byproducts of energy production while generating alternative fuel sources. This study demonstrates the ability of M13 phage templating to improve electrocatalytic activity several fold via utilization of the M13 virus as a synthetic functional handle to simultaneously tune variables of the electrocatalyst structure and composition.
