| Title of the Research | Electrochemical CO2 Reduction Catalyst for Multi-carbon Products |
| Outline of Research | The large amount of CO2 emission should be decreased to realize carbon neutral society. One of the technologies to reduce CO2 emission is CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). CO2RR is highly attracted because the reaction occurred under mild conditions such as room temperature and atmospheric pressure. However, CO2RR needs an efficient electrocatalyst to increase product selectivity and decrease overpotential. In this research, we develop the electrocatalyst by rationally designing a structure and compositing various elements to increase the catalytic activity for CO2RR. |
