Abstract
Electrochemical and photochemical reduction of CO2, or a smart combination of both, are appealing approaches for the storage of renewable, intermittent energies and may lead to the production of fuels and of value-added chemicals. By using only earth-abundant metal (Cu, Ni, Co, Mn, Fe) complexes, cheap electrodes and/or cheap sacrificial electron donors and visible light sensitizers, systems functioning with molecular catalysts have been recently designed, showing promising results, in particular, for the two-electron reduction of the carbon dioxide. By combining experimental and mechanistic studies, key parameters controlling the catalysis efficiency have been deciphered, opening the way to the design of…
