Enhancement of Catalytic Activity and Selectivity for the Gaseous Electroreduction of CO2 to CO: Guidelines for the Selection of Carbon Supports (Adv. Sustainable Syst. 12/2021)

Abstract

CO2 Reduction Recently, as a way to address global warming, research on electrochemical carbon dioxide conversion to valuable chemicals has been being actively conducted. In article number 2100216, Won Suk Jung, Hyung-Suk Oh and co-workers report the development of silver nanoparticles supported on a carbon nano-cage as a catalyst for converting CO2 to CO. The catalyst demonstrates high catalytic activity and durability, and is easy to mass-produce by applying it to a stacked zero-gap electrolyzer.
