二氧化碳的电解还原,为二氧化碳转化为有用的燃料和有机化合物提供了一个可能的方法。二氧化碳在金属电极上直接还原是众所周知的,其主要问题是还原需要用很大的过电压。最近的几篇报告指出,可以用电解催化来还原CO_2。这些研究表明,过渡金属基催化剂能用于控制电子转移运动, Electrolytic reduction of carbon dioxide provides a possible way to convert carbon dioxide into useful fuels and organic compounds. It is well-known that carbon dioxide is directly reduced at metal electrodes. The main problem is that a large overvoltage is required for the reduction. Several recent reports have pointed out that CO 2 can be reduced by electrolysis. These studies show that transition metal-based catalysts can be used to control electron transfer motions,
