This project focuses on key fundamental scientific challenges of the direct electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 to CO using renewable electricity coupled to the electrolytic splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen with re-use of CO2. Project outcomes range from improved understanding of the reaction dynamics, correlations of catalytic activity and catalyst structure, to practical electrochemical performance data in realistic gas diffusion electrodes.
