The electrocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable chemicals presents a promising strategy for closing the carbon cycle. In this study, we synthesized zinc (Zn) catalysts through hydrothermal methods using either polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) or cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as stabilizing agents. These catalysts proved highly efficient in converting CO2 into carbon monoxide (CO).

Ebook "Electrochemistry of N4 macrocyclic metal complexes - Volume 1: Energy (Second edition)" describes the state of the art regarding molecular catalysts such as MN4 metal complexes, like porphyrins and phthalocyanines. This volume focuses on the particular case of the electrocatalysis of the reduction of O2 for practical applications in fuel cells and air batteries. Indeed, active and stable materials have been developed in the last 5 years where MN4 catalytic systems can be obtained by the pyrolysis of starting materials that do not necessarily involve MN4 complexes.

The CO2 electrochemical reduction to CO on dual precious metal atoms M2 (M2 = Pt2, Pd2, and Pt1Pd1) decorated graphene (M2/G) is investigated by using density functional theory with van der Waals corrections. The electronic structure analyses show that the dual precious metal atoms anchored graphene are able to activate CO2 thanks to the charge transfer from metal atoms to the antibonding π* orbital of CO2.

The aim of this study was to examine qualitatively the effect of important electrochemical parameters on the faradaic impedance spectra of oxalic acid electroreduction. The impedance spectrum of a 3-step oxalic acid electroreduction mechanism was simulated by the solution of a faradaic impedance equation based on 3 state variables. Before the solution of the faradaic impedance equation, the electroreduction mechanism was analyzed and it was seen that this mechanism can be represented by an electrical circuit composed of 2 resistors and a capacitance or inductance.

The reduction behavior of fenoxaprop-p-ethyl (FNX) was studied on a hanging mercury drop electrode. FNX showed 2 reduction peaks at about –0.7 V and at about –0.9 V versus Ag/AgCl/3.0 M KCl in Britton–Robinson buffer at pH 4.8. Both reductions were irreversible and adsorption was effective. The reduction peaks were assigned to the reduction of C=N to CH–NH and the reduction of C=O to CH–OH. Square-wave voltammetry has been proposed and validated for quantification of FNX in different samples.
