Cutting-Edge Electrocatalysts for CORR.

A world-wide growing concern relates to the rising levels of CO in the atmosphere that leads to devastating consequences for our environment. In addition to reducing emissions, one alternative strategy is the conversion of CO (via the CO Reduction Reaction, or CORR) into added-value chemicals, such as CO, HCOOH, CHOH, CH, and more. Although this strategy is currently not economically feasible due to the high stability of the CO molecule, significant progress has been made to optimize this electrochemical conversion, especially in terms of finding a performing catalyst.
