About The Position

The electrochemical conversion of CO₂ to CO using silver catalysts is a highly promising, economically viable pathway for large-scale carbon recycling. By transforming waste CO₂ into a high-value industrial feedstock, this process serves as a critical foundation for synthetic fuels and chemicals. This study investigates the influence of silver particle size on catalyst activity and selectivity for the electrochemical reduction of CO₂ to CO, utilizing specialized electrochemical characterization tools.
