Immobilization of a Mn polypyridyl CO2 reduction electrocatalyst on nanocrystalline TiO2 electrodes
yields an active heterogeneous system and also significantly triggers a change in voltammetric and
catalytic behaviour, relative to in solution. A combination of spectroelectrochemical techniques are
presented here to elucidate the mechanism of the immobilised catalyst in-situ.
