Synergistic effect of phthalocyanine and pyrochlore-type oxide catalysts to enhance activity of electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction

Abstract

Electrochemical CO2 reduction has been attracting attention due to its potential to improve the environment. In this study, we found that the combination of Co-phthalocyanine and pyrochlore-type Bi2Sn2O7 catalyst gave high catalytic activity for CO2 reduction, and devised a new electrocatalyst that combines them for their synergistic effects.
