Highly efficient copper nitride bimetallic catalysts for electrochemical reduction of one or more carbon oxides to n-propanol and/or ethanol

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a catalyst suitable for electrochemical reduction reactions of one or more carbon oxides, comprising a nitride-doped multi-metallic material comprising a primary metal being copper and one or more secondary metals selected from silver, gold, platinum, palladium, ruthenium, iridium, osmium, and any mixture thereof, wherein the nitride-doped multi-metallic material comprises, as determined by XRD, copper, copper nitride and copper-Me alloy wherein Me is one of the secondary metals and to a gas diffusion electrode suitable for electrolysis of one or more carbon oxides comprising such a catalyst.
