Abstract

The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to hydrocarbons and alcohols holds great promise as a sustainable and green method to produce valuable carbon fuels. In this work, we review the catalysts used in the selective reduction of CO2 to formate, carbon monoxide, methane and ethylene.
