In-situ deposition-polymerization for the impregnation and coating of cu-nanoparticle electrodes

Abstract

Electrochemical CO2 reduction is a promising technology to capture and convert CO2 to valuable chemicals. Disclosed herein is the effect of anolyte on the effective morphology (i.e. ionic accessibility) of a CO2 reduction cathode using electrochemical techniques and cell configurations that avoid the complexities related to co-electrolysis (oxygen evolution reaction at anode). When KOH is utilized as the anolyte the effective morphology of the cathode is enhanced, facilitating the CO2 reduction kinetics via improved electrocatalyst accessibility
