Reduce it, don’t lose it – electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide using copper loaded nanotubes

8/4/2014

Electrochemical reduction is one of most promising methods to prevent emission of CO₂ into the atmosphere as it

• uses CO₂ and water as feed
• produces valuable chemicals such as methanol, methane, ethylene, formic acid, and synthesis gas
• operates at room temperature and pressure
• provides possibility of using renewable sources of energy for the process

Linear sweep voltammetry and chronoamperometry were used to investigate the activity of the as-prepared catalysts for the electrochemical reduction of CO₂.
