CATALYSTS FOR LOW TEMPERATURE ELECTROLYTIC CO2 OR CO REDUCTION

摘要

A method for electrochemically reducing CO or CO2 is provided. A cathode is provided, wherein the cathode comprises a conductive substrate with a catalyst of a metal and a metal oxide based coating on a side of the cathode. An anode is spaced apart from the cathode. An ionic transport is provided between the anode and cathode. The cathode is exposed to CO or CO2 and H2O. The anode is exposed to H2O. A voltage is provided between the cathode and anode.
