In the presentation I will go throught the latest developments that we have been developing in the group on one side on the type of materials and how they reconstruct under reaction conditions and how the relationships with the electrolyte can affect the chemistry taking place. The model systems investigated will allow to understand the particularities of highly reconstructed materials under relevant reaction conditions, this is a very crucial point when trying to go beyond the standard traditional models materials. Additionally the electrolytes can change the complete picture of the reactivity due to the generation of low energy paths, alternative paths that might contribute to the reactivity and more importantly new ways that reaction can be driven in different ways. The relevance of the results indicate that there are ways to allow some of the constraints that are limiting the technical implementation of CO2 reduction technologies in a short time.
