电催化二氧化碳还原产物及电化学参数

Human beings continue to mine and consume fossil fuels, leading to serious environmental problems and energy crises. CO2 concentrations escalates in atmospheric leads to global warming, sea level rise, polar glacier melting, extreme weather events, destruction of natural carbon-neutral energy cycle. Coupling electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) with renewable clean energy source, CO2 is converted into value-add fuels or chemicals, which has been considered as a promising and clean strategy for CO2 utilization and alleviate the ever-increasing energy crisis. ECR is an attractive strategy which was operated under ambient temperature and pressure, the electrolyte is a low cost near-neutral inorganic salt aqueous solution and electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction products is easily to be regulated. Summarize the common two-electron transfer and multi-electron transfer products of carbon dioxide reduction and through electrochemical parameters to evaluate and compare the carbon dioxide reduction performance of different catalysts reported in different literature.
