Recently, electrocatalytic CO2 reduction (ECO2R) technology has received much attention due to its ability to convert CO2 to valuable chemicals and fuels through clean and economical processes. Many studies have been reported in a last decade, but there are still several challenges such as improvement of current density, energy efficiency, selectivity and stability need to be addressed for the development of economically viable CO2 reduction processes. In addition, the pathways of ECO2R and the reaction mechanisms of electrocatalysts degradation should be verified. Here the recent progress and perspectives in electrocatalytic CO2 conversion technologies are reviewed as a means of production of valuable products, and some technical obstacles are analyzed which should be overcome for the development of commercial-scale ECO2R processes. |
