SOLID OXIDE ELECTROLYSIS

Selective CO2 electrohydrogenation

Nature Catalysis volume 4, pages 264–265 (2021)Cite this article

Subjects

Tuning the selectivity of CO2 electrohydrogenation to value-added products poses a challenge in CO2 mitigation and electrified chemical manufacturing. Now, a strategy to design and synthesize CO2 reduction electrocatalysts highly selective to either CO or CH4 for proton-conducting ceramic electrochemical cells is presented.
