Investigation of Highly Effective and Stable Electrocatalysts for Electrochemical CO2 Reduction at Room and Elevated Temperatures
DownloadFall 2017
To effectively reduce and utilize atmospheric CO2, electrochemically converting it to CO on an efficient and stable electrocatalyst at room and elevated temperatures has attracted extensive interests. However, present electrocatalysts usually suffer from sluggish kinetics, high overpotential, low...
