Abstract

Abstract Electrochemical CO2 reduction to fuels and chemicals using renewable electricity offers a green and efficient tool/strategy to mitigate global warming and energy supply problems. Relative to C1 products, C2+ hydrocarbons and oxygenates containing two or more carbon atoms have higher energy densities. Also, many multi-carbon products are chemical feedstocks in high demand. However, C C bond formation competes with the H H and C H bond formation. H H and C H bonds have stronger bond energies and thus require lower energies for their formation than C C bonds. Therefore, to increase C2+ fuel selectivity and yield requires the design of advanced tailor-made electrocatalysts and electrolytes as well as optimization of electrochemical cells. An overarching aim of this article is to comprehensively summarize recent advances on the electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 to C2+ hydrocarbons (oxygenates) over various materials. The fundamentals of CO2 catalysis and possible C2+ reaction pathways are provided. We highlight strategies available for improving C2+ compound production.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
