Electrochemistry is a pathway to convert CO2 into valuable products such as CO. However, a potential side product in the cathode is H2. I wonder if it is possible to tune the composition of the catalyst in the cathode to produce syngas with a ratio H2/CO=2. Some research has been devoted to this topic using either gaseous CO2 or bicarbonate as CO2 source. However, can this technology be developed to be used at industrial scale?
I can't provide an answer but I'm intrigued in learning why this reaction may be interest
Dear Paul Milham ,

Thanks Martin, it reads like a nice idea if one has green energy to spend, Paul.
