摘要

Novel porous metal and metal alloy materials for electroreduction of CO2 and methods for making the same.

主权项

1. A method for forming a porous material for electroreduction of CO2, the method comprising:
mixing a first metal salt solution or dry powder and a plurality of individual non-aggregated sacrificial template particles such that the sacrificial template particles are dispersed within the solution or dry powder to form a mixture and enabling the mixture to form a dry composite material; treating the dry composite material; and forming a plurality of voids by removing the sacrificial template particles to produce a porous metal or metal alloy material comprising the metal in the metal salt.
