E-CO2SYNT (Scalable Electrodes for the CO2 Reduction and Synthesis of Valuable Products) aspires to the design and production of innovative electrodes for the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2), by using renewable electricity into high-value carbon-based chemicals
E-CO2SYNT (Scalable Electrodes for the CO2 Reduction and Synthesis of Valuable Products) aspires to the design and production of innovative electrodes for the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2), by using renewable electricity into high-value carbon-based chemicals. Such electrodes, when connected to an external source of electricity (such as a photovoltaic panel), enable the generation of fuels (such as ethanol) and chemical precursors (such as syngas and ethylene) from carbon dioxide and water.
