Electrochemical Reduction of CO2 at Copper Nanofoam Electrodes
Overview There is currently a great deal of interest in CO2 reduction as a way to capture carbon and use it to make industrial chemicals, most of which are still being made from fossil fuels. We have invented a copper nanofoam electrocatalytic electrode that reduces CO2 10–20% more effectively than smooth electropolished copper electrodes. Market...
