For Researchers, Students, Industrial Professionals, and Manufacturers




Electrochemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide: Fundamentals and Technologies is your guide to improved catalytic performance in the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO₂). Written by electrochemical energy scientists actively involved in environmental research and development, this book addresses the biggest challenge to CO₂ electrochemical reduction—low performance of the electrocatalysts—and outlines practical applications for the effective use of CO₂. The authors discuss the development of electrochemical energy devices and consider environmental protection on a macroscopic and microscopic scale. Presenting a systematic overview of CO₂ electroreduction, they explain the fundamental principles, describe recent advances, and outline applications for future use.


In addition, the authors describe:

• The main metal electrodes used for CO₂ electroreduction



• Current efficiencies for CO₂ reduction products on different metal electrodes



• The electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide to produce important chemicals



• Three categories of reaction conditions: heterogeneous catalysis, low-temperatures electrolysis, and high-temperature electrolysis



• Developments in CO₂ hydrogenation reactions



• Various analysis methods



• Progresses in the theoretical electrochemical reduction of CO₂

Electrochemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide: Fundamentals and Technologies covers a variety of topics relevant to the successful use of CO₂ electrochemical reduction and utilizes expert contributors at the top of their field. The book functions as a resource for students and professionals involved in materials
