A few basic concepts in electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction
Karen Chan
Abstract
In this perspective, I discuss a few basic concepts in fundamental mechanistic studies of electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction. Electrochemical carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction has the potential to sustainably produce carbon-based fuels and chemicals while mitigating the increasing levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. In this comment, the author discusses a few basic concepts in the fundamental mechanistic studies of electrochemical CO2 reduction.
