Electrochemical Approaches for CO 2 Conversion to Chemicals: A Journey toward Practical Applications

ConspectusCarbon capture, utilization, and sequestration play an essential role to address CO2 emissions. Among all carbon utilization technologies, CO2 electroreduction has gained immense interest due to its potential for directly converting CO2 to a variety of valuable commodity chemicals using clean, renewable electricity as the sole energy source. The research community has witnessed rapid advances in CO2 electrolysis technology in recent years, including highly selective catalysts, larger-scale reactors, specific process modeling, as well as a mechanistic understanding of the CO2 reduction reaction. The rapid advances in the field brings promise to the commercial application of the technology and the…
