The CuOx-based electrodes demonstrated the selective of ~25% at -0.55 V for formic acid (HCOOH) and over CuO -Ag and selective of ethylene at ~20% over CuOx at -1.05 V.

On the other hand, carbon monoxide, acetate, ethylene glycol, propinaldehyde, glycoaldehyde and glyoxal (CO, CH3COO, C2H6O2, C3H6O, C2H4O2, C2H2O2) have been formed and detected. Based on the results of these studies, it appears that the formation of synthetic fuels from CO2 at room temperature in alkaline environment can be very promising.

Abstract

The CuOx-based electrodes demonstrated the selective of ~25% at -0.55 V for formic acid (HCOOH) and over CuO -Ag and selective of ethylene at ~20% over CuOx at -1.05 V. Other products were formed as ethylene, ethanol, and propanol (C2H4, EtOH, PrOH) at more positive potentials. On the other hand, carbon monoxide, acetate, ethylene glycol, propinaldehyde, glycoaldehyde and glyoxal (CO, CH3COO, C2H6O2, C3H6O, C2H4O2, C2H2O2) have been formed and detected. Based on the results of these studies, it appears that the formation of synthetic fuels from CO2 at room temperature in alkaline environment can be very promising.
