Recent Advances in Electrocarboxylation with CO₂

Abstract

Abstract Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is an abundant, inexpensive, renewable C1 resource and the main component of greenhouse gas, thereby the research for its sustainable and efficient conversion has received notable attention in recent years. Electrochemical organic synthesis, as a green and efficient synthetic method, is convinced to be an ideal approach for CO 2 utilization. In this review, recent advances in electrocarboxylation with CO 2 were summarized through different reaction types, which would disclose the great potential of electrocarboxylation in green organic synthesis.
