Electrochemical CO2 Reduction on Copper in Propylene Carbonate
Influence of Water Content and Temperature on the Product Distribution
Aqueous electrolytes are most commonly used for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), but suffer from a low CO2 solubility that limits the reaction. Electrochemical CO2 reduction in nonaqueous electrolytes can provide a solution, due t ...
Recently, deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been considered as possible electrolytes for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to value-added products such as formic and oxalic acids. The applicability of pure DES as electrolytes is hindered by high viscosities. Mixtures of DES ...
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is currently considered as a waste material due to its negative impact on the environment. However, it is possible to create value from CO2 by capturing and utilizing it as a building block for commodity chemicals. Electrochemical conversion of CO2 has exc ...
Electrochemical processes are a promising technology for industrial production of chemicals. One of the major drawbacks of electrochemical systems is the low mass transfer of reactants toward the active surface area of the electrode. In this paper, an approach is presented to ...
