ABSTRACT
Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (ERC) provides a means to convert greenhouse carbon dioxide gas to produce diverse attractive chemicals and fuels such as methanol, formic acid, methane, ethylene, carbon monoxide, and other hydrocarbons by using electricity as the source of energy [1] as shown in Equation 5.1. This is attractive because it can be carried out at room temperature and low pressure, and potentially reduces the dependence on foreign fuels as well as mitigates the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.
