Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of carbon dioxide electrochemical reduction, in particular to the technical field of electrodes for carbon dioxide electrochemical reduction. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the development of the global economy and the increasing demand for energy around the world, CO in the atmosphere 2 The continuous increase of emissions, the global warming and ecological problems caused by it are severe challenges to the sustainable development of human beings. In order to effectively alleviate the "greenhouse effect" and reduce CO in the atmosphere 2 content, the CO 2 Recycling and conversion is one of the important ways. CO 2 It is the product of the highest oxidation stage of carbon. From the perspective of chemical change, it is in a very stable state, which is close to "inert gas". Therefore, to find an efficient way to transfer CO 2 has always been the focus of social attention. CO 2 As...
