A brief review of oxide-derived materials for selective electrochemical reduction of CO2

Rising CO 2 emissions and the need for sustainable energy solutions have created a strong demand for technologies that can simultaneously mitigate carbon levels and generate valuable chemicals. Electrochemical CO 2 reduction (CO 2 RR) is one of the promising methods for transforming CO 2 into useful products and addressing the energy and environmental crisis. The electrochemical CO 2 reduction process (CO 2 RR), which is catalyzed by oxide-derived metal electrocatalysts, has been the subject of extensive research in recent years. This study revealed that CO 2 conversion into particular carbon compounds occurs on oxide-derived surfaces. The metallic nanocatalysts design, manufacturing and faradic efficiency to catalyze the electrochemical CO 2 RR are the main topic of this review. Oxide-derived metal electrocatalyst has greater selectivity and activity toward CO 2 reduction into useful products. Compared to polycrystalline catalysts, oxide-derived metal electrodes have stronger electrocatalytic stability, Faradic efficiency and a lower onset potential for reducing CO 2 into a variety of valuable chemicals.
