| Abstract Scope |
CO2 produced from the fossil fuel processes in materials industry has contributed to total GHG emission and deleterious impact to global environmental and ecological systems. New carbon capture, sequestration and conversion technologies are widely pursued as potential solutions to mitigate the CO2 emission and accumulation. The electrochemical reduction reaction of CO2 (CO2RR) to fuels and chemicals using renewable electricity offers an attractive “carbon-neutral” or even “carbon-negative” mitigation strategy. CO2 is an inexpensive carbon source and can be used as a feedstock for producing value-added chemicals. Key focuses in the CO2RR research include improving energy efficiency, increasing the process selectivity, and lowering the system operating cost. In this presentation, I will review some recent progresses, including ours, in developing highly efficient electrocatalysts and device of producing chemicals and fuels using CO2 as raw material, as well as the challenges and future direction of the research in this field. |
