Reduction Of Co2

Gas sensors fabricated with antimony doped tin oxide (ATO) nanomaterials exhibit remarkable sensitivity for detecting oxidizing and reducing gases. This study highlights the enhanced selectivity and stability of the porous ATO nanomaterial electrode made for electrochemical reduction of CO2 in aqueous media. During electrochemical reduction, these electrodes prepared from compressed powders tend to crumble within a few hours in aqueous media. To overcome this electrode disintegration effect, we modified the surface of the doped tin-Oxide nanoparticles with Nafion and a dipodal silane (1,2-Bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane). The electrode characterization studies include Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). Scanning electron microscopic investigation of electrode surface morphology and roughness before and after electrochemical CO2 reduction for derivatized and underivatized electrode revealed lower surface roughness for former than the latter.The derivatized electrodes allowed CO2 electrochemical reduction at low overpotentials and high current density without any electrode crumbling over more than 24 hours of continuous operation. Formate/formic acid and methanol were the major products of reduction at electrode potentials ranging from -0.4 to -1.0V vs. RHE in the CO2 saturated 0.1M KHCO3 electrolyte. Higher current density and Faradaic Efficiency of formic acid was observed when compared to planar tin electrode materials and tin oxide nanoparticles deposited on FTO glass.

Reduction Of Co2

A composite of copper and gold nanoparticles was deposited using arc plasma deposition on the conductive FTO substrate for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 . The use of arc plasma deposition system allows the nanoparticles to be implanted onto the substrate as opposed to the commonly used methods of vacuum deposition or electro deposition. This unique structure reduced the CO2 to produce formic acid with up to 60% faradaic efficiency. Copper and gold nanoparticles have never previously been reported to produce formic acid with such high efficiency, suggesting that the co-deposition technique of implanted nanoparticles can provide an interesting future avenue in the field of electrochemical reduction of CO2 . The surface analysis of the electrodes is presented here along with potential dependent faradaic efficiency of the electro catalysis.
