CO2 Reduction Using Electrochemical Approach

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Solar to Chemical Energy Conversion

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Energy ((LNEN,volume 32))

Abstract

Electrochemical Reduction of CO2 may contribute to energy storage process. It has been a challenging subject, since it competes with hydrogen evolution in aqueous electrolytes. The studies started in the beginning of 20th century using metal electrodes of high hydrogen overvoltage, and the main product remained formate for long time. A breakthrough appeared in 1980s; Cu electrode gives rise to hydrocarbons, and Au and Ag form CO. This chapter provides an overview of the electrocatalysis of metal electrodes in CO2 reduction, and briefly discusses some problems to be solved.
