Electrocatalytic coupling of CO2 to organic molecules for the sustainable production of valuable carboxylic acids KU Leuven
In light of the impact of anthropogenic CO2 emissions on the global climate, capture and re-use of CO2 (CCU) is imperative. For this, electrocatalysis is uniquely suited, driving the direct reduction of CO2 at mild conditions and moderate potentials. However, the commercial viability of such direct CO2 reduction processes is limited, considering the required energy input to produce rather low value fuels. The reductive C-C coupling of CO2 and ...
