| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the ultimate by-product of all processes involving oxidation of carbon compounds and its increasing presence in the atmosphere. In view of the vastness of its supply, CO2 represents a potential source of C1 feedstock for the production of chemicals and fuels. The thermodynamic stability and the relative kinetic inertness of CO2 require its preliminary activation or, alternatively, the activation or modification of the substrates. Therefore, the electrochemical method appears to become one of the very suitable methods for the conversion and reduction of CO2.
