Abstract
As a result of fossil fuel combustion, annual CO<sub>2</sub> emissions have increased dramatically since the Industrial Revolution and the atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> level exceeded 410 ppm in 2019. Electrochemical reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> may provide a promising solution to the high atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> levels, with CO<sub>2</sub> being converted to carbon monoxide,
