Co2 Reduction Reaction

Despite its life-threatening long term effects, the continuous increase of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the environment requires immediate actions to control the accelerating climate change. An appealing solution to this problem is to utilize CO2 as feedstock to generate useful chemicals, e.g., fuel, hydrocarbons, and valuable chemicals. The chemical inertness of CO2 needs considerably large energy for its conversion into useful chemicals. Therefore, CO2 reduction reaction requires an effective catalyst for its conversion into fuel (methanol, methane) and industrial chemicals (syngas, formic acid). Recently, two-dimensional layers of early transition metal carbides and nitrides, called MXene, have shown potential for catalysis due to its exposed transition metal sites, and mechanical and chemical stability at high temperatures. Herein, the author presents the MXene as a potential heterogeneous catalyst for the CO2 reduction reaction (CRR), and the future scope in this currently developing field.

Carbon Dioxide Co2

The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to value-added chemicals and fuels has attracted worldwide interest for its potential to address various contemporary global issues such as CO2-related climate change, the earth’s carbon deficit and the energy crisis. In the development of this technology, many efforts have been focused on the design of inexpensive, eco-friendly and effective catalysts. In this work, a bismuth (Bi)-based material was simply synthesized via a scalable method and fully characterized by physical, chemical and electrochemical techniques. The catalyst material consisted of Bi/Bi2O3 nanoparticles and a biochar prevenient from the pyrolysis of brewed coffee waste. It was observed that the surface of the biochar was thoroughly decorated with nanoparticles. Due to its uniform surface, the biochar–BiOx electrode demonstrated good selectivity for CO2 reduction, showing a faradaic efficiency of more than 90% for CO and HCOOH formation in a wide potential range. Particularly, the selectivity for HCOOH reached more than 80% from −0.9 V to −1.3 V vs the reversible hydrogen electrode and peaks at 87%. Besides the selectivity, the production rate of HCOOH also achieved significant values with a maximum of 59.6 mg cm−2 h−1, implying a good application potential for biochar–BiOx material in the conversion of CO2 to HCOOH.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a known greenhouse gas, and is the most important contributor to global warming. Therefore, one of the main challenges is to either eliminate or reuse it through the synthesis of value-added products, such as carboxylated derivatives. One of the most promising approaches for activating, capturing, and valorizing CO2 is the use of electrochemical techniques. In the current manuscript, we described an electrocarboxylation route for synthesizing 4-cyanobenzoic acid by valorizing CO2 through the synergistic use of electrochemical techniques (“green technology”) and ionic liquids (ILs) (“green solvents”)—two of the major entries in the general green chemistry tool kit. Moreover, the use of silver cathodes and ILs enabled the electrochemical potential applied to be reduced by more than 0.4 V. The “green” synthesis of those derivatives would provide a suitable environmentally friendly process for the design of plasticizers based on phthalate derivatives.
