Electrocatalysing co2 conversion to value added products using metal oxides and metal salen complexes

Abstract

The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide ERC is a promising technique for storing energy and producing carbon based chemicals from CO2 The concentration of CO2 is increased from 280 to 416 3 ppm 43 3 over the past 60 years which is about 66 ppm higher than the safety limit This rise in CO2 concentration causes an increase in global temperature by 1 2 194 176 C This doctoral work researches in synthesizing catalysts for ERC into valuable products The study begins with the synthesis of s...
