Converting CO2 into Butanol using Phosphorous-Rich Copper Cathodes - GIST

Objective/theme

A team of scientists has reported an electrochemical reduction reaction pathway that can avoid *CO dimerization to produce 1-butanol from CO2 using copper phosphide as a cathode

Process & benefits

Their findings offer a new insight on the use of CU-based electrocatalysts for the electroreduction of CO2.

This could help to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.
