Energetically efficient electrocatalysts with high product selectivity are desirable targets for sustainable chemical fuel generation using renewable electricity. Recycling CO 2 by reduction to more energy dense products would support a carbon-neutral cycle that mitigates the intermittency of renewable energy sources. Conversion of CO 2 to more saturated products typically requires proton equivalents. Complications with product selectivity stem from competitive reactions between H + or CO 2 at shared intermediates. We describe generalized catalytic cycles for H 2 , CO, and HCO 2  - formation that are commonly proposed in inorganic molecular catalysts. Thermodynamic considerations and trends for the reactions of H + or CO 2 at key intermediates are outlined. A quantitative understanding of intermediate catalytic steps is key to designing systems that display high selectivity while promoting energetically efficient catalysis by minimizing the overall energy landscape. For CO 2 reduction to CO, we describe how an enzymatic active site motif facilitates efficient and selective catalysis and highlight relevant examples from synthetic systems.
