Efficient CO2 conversion to fuels and chemicals using ionic liquid electrolyte - EurekAlert
The electrochemical conversion of captured carbon dioxide into fuels and chemicals offers a sustainable approach to reduce emissions. However, traditional methods rely on complex electrode designs. Researchers from Doshisha University demonstrated a cost-effective approach using an ionic liquid combined with metal hydroxides as an electrolyte, enabling efficient conversion even on basic metal electrodes. With this electrolyte, they successfully produced propane and ethylene directly from CO2 and H2O, offering a cost-effective method for emissions reduction.
