The utilization of carbon dioxide is a major incentive for the growing field of carbon capture. Carbon dioxide could be an abundant building block to generate higher-value chemical products. Herein, we fabricated a porous copper electrode capable of catalyzing the reduction of carbon dioxide into higher-value products, such as ethylene, ethanol and propanol. We investigated the formation of the foams under different conditions, not only analyzing their morphological and crystal structure, but also documenting their performance as a catalyst. In particular, we studied the response of the foams to CO2 electrolysis, including the effect of urea as a potential additive to enhance CO2 catalysis. Before electrolysis, the pristine and urea-modified foam copper electrodes consisted of a mixture of cuboctahedra and dendrites. After 35 min of electrolysis, the cuboctahedra and dendrites underwent structural rearrangement affecting catalysis performance. We found that alterations in the morphology, crystallinity and surface composition of the catalyst were conducive to the deactivation of the copper foams.

Insulating ceramics were considered as machinable material with the electrical discharge machining method using the assisting electrode method, which was proposed and advanced by the authors. The mechanical properties changed with the experimental parameters, including the physical characteristics of the workpiece and the tool electrode. In this research, sintered ZrO2-Y2O3 insulating ceramics were subjected to EDM. To investigate the effects of the porous tool electrode material on the removal rate, the porous copper cylinder material was fabricated by PECS (pulse electric current sintering) method. The relative density changed from 60 to 95 wt%. The suitable machining characteristics could be obtained with a relative density of 85% at the positive electrode polarity. The shape of electrodes was transcribed on the workpiece surface more precisely than the solid copper electrode.

An analytical approach of transient heat conduction in a two layered material, in finite dimensions within imperfect thermal contact, subjected to a moving Gaussian laser beam was achieved. The result of this study allows on the one hand an easy access to the distribution and the evolution of the temperature in both layers of the workpiece; on the other hand permits to clarify the influence of the contact quality on the temperature gap at the interface. The effect of a porous grannular deposit layer was also considered in this study. A design of electronic tracks by laser cladding was studied as an application example in the surface treatment area; this model can be also used to estimate the thermal contact resistance between layers.
