Abstract

Since CO2 is a readily available feedstock throughout the world, the utilization of CO2 as a C1 building block for the synthesis of valuable chemicals is a highly attractive concept. However, due to its very nature of energy depleted "carbon sink", CO2 has a very low reactivity. Electrocatalysis off...
