- 研究成果概要
- Carbon recycling has been attracting attention as one of the measures to combat global warming. In particular, the electrolytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) has the potential to produce CO2-free fuels and chemicals in addition to the effective use of CO2. However, in conventional research on the electroreduction of CO2, the current density obtained is only about 10 mA/cm2, which is not enough to achieve a practical reaction rate. In this study, we have developed a new electrode structure for CO2 electroreduction that can supply CO2 gas to the cathode electrode abundantly and discharge produced water efficiently. As a result, it was found that the reduction characteristics differed greatly depending on the prototype conditions of the three-phase electrode. By optimizing the trial production conditions (trial production method) in the future, it will be possible to obtain high reduction characteristics.
