Electrochemical reduction of CO2 with high current density in a CO2 + methanol medium at various metal electrodes

Catalysis Research of Relevance to Carbon Management: Progress, Challenges, and Opportunities

“…This corrosion can sometimes be overcome using high CO 2 pressures. 180 Interesting examples of stoichiometric photochemical reactions of CO 2 promoted by metal complexes have also been reported. Thus, Aresta et al 181 found that CO 2 can be incorporated into cyclopropane to afford butyrolactone.…”

“…as reaction medium [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. Higher CO 2 solubility increases the current density, however, the low electrolytic conductivity gives high ohmic losses.…”

Electrocatalytic Reduction of CO 2 in Methanol Medium

“…The faradaic efficiency for hydrogen formation at the Pb electrode in KOH-methanol catholyte was found to be <3.5%. The formation efficiency of CH 4 at a Zn electrode is better than that obtained with a Pb electrode [32]. It could be suggested that the Zn electrode is favorable for production of the reaction intermediate CO for the formation of CH 4 .…”
