MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR THE ELECTROCHEMICAL REDUCTION OF CARBON DIOXIDE

Disclosed are methods for electrochemically reducing carbon dioxide to provide a product. The methods can comprise contacting the carbon dioxide with an electroreduction catalyst in an electrochemical cell, and applying a potential to the electrochemical cell to form the product. The electroreductio...

Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed are methods for electrochemically reducing carbon dioxide to provide a product. The methods can comprise contacting the carbon dioxide with an electroreduction catalyst in an electrochemical cell, and applying a potential to the electrochemical cell to form the product. The electroreduction catalyst can comprise a nanoporous Cu catalyst, a nanoporous Cu-M catalyst, or a combination thereof, where M is a metal chosen from Pt, Ir, Pd, Ag, Au, Rh, Ru, Zn, Sn, Ni, Fe, Re, Ga, In, Cd, Tl, and Ti. The product can comprise a C2-C3 alkane, a C2-C3 alkene, a C2-C3 alcohol, a C2-C3 carboxylic acid, a C2-C3 aldehyde, or a combination thereof.
