Three-Dimensional Cathodes for Electrochemical Reduction of CO<sub>2</sub>: From Macro- to Nano-Engineering
Rising anthropogenic CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and their climate warming effects have triggered a global response in research and development to reduce the emissions of this harmful greenhouse gas. The use of CO<sub>2</sub> as a feedstock for the production of value-added fuel...

Rising anthropogenic CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and their climate warming effects have triggered a global response in research and development to reduce the emissions of this harmful greenhouse gas. The use of CO<sub>2</sub> as a feedstock for the production of value-added fuels and chemicals is a promising pathway for development of renewable energy storage and reduction of carbon emissions. Electrochemical CO<sub>2</sub> conversion offers a promising route for value-added products. Considerable challenges still remain, limiting this technology for industrial deployment. This work reviews the latest developments in experimental and modeling studies of three-dimensional cathodes towards high-performance electrochemical reduction of CO<sub>2</sub>. The fabrication–microstructure–performance relationships of electrodes are examined from the macro- to nanoscale. Furthermore, future challenges, perspectives and recommendations for high-performance cathodes are also presented. |
