/Copper And Antimony Based Material And Electrode For The Selective Conversion Of Carbon Dioxide To Carbon Monoxide
Abstract
An electrocatalyst material comprising cuprous oxide and antimony, the process for the production thereof and its use in the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO with high selectivity and efficiency are described. Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO is carried out according to a method herein whereby with higher values of faradic efficiency and greater selectivity than known materials. The compounds herein enable these results to be obtained by employing copper and antimony, which are inexpensive and widely available components.
