A highly efficient zinc catalyst for selective electroreduction of carbon dioxide in aqueous NaCl solution

Abstract

A low-cost zinc catalyst, prepared by a facile electrochemical strategy, produces CO with up to 93% Faraday efficiency in aqueous NaCl solution. The catalytic activity of the Zn catalyst is demonstrated to be dependent on both the morphology of the catalyst and the catholyte anions.
