Electrochemical Conversion of CO2: The Path to Carbon-Neutral Fuels


Climate change, caused by the excessive emission of greenhouse gases, has become one of the most pressing global issues. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas responsible for global warming, and its concentration in the atmosphere has been increasing at an alarming rate. As a result, scientists and engineers are exploring innovative ways to
