Novel catalytic materials towards a combined photo and electrochemical conversion of CO2 to methanol. University of Antwerp
The negative impact of CO2 on climate change makes the decrease of anthropogenic CO2 emissions one of the biggest scientific challenges our current generation faces. One possible solution is the direct photo- or electrochemical conversion of CO2 to highly value-added products such as methanol, using merely H2O as proton source and renewable electricity as driving force. However, in the current state-of-the-art these processes are not productive ...
