Electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide to formic acid

该项目旨在开发经济和可扩展的二氧化碳电化学技术，将高炉烟气中的二氧化碳转化为甲酸，作为炼钢厂的增值产品。该项目期望开发新的电化学催化剂，优化电极结构，最终提高二氧化碳转化效率和对甲酸的反应选择性。该项目的预期成果将提供一种高效且经济可行的电化学技术，将二氧化碳转化为有价值的产品，如甲酸或合成气，具有显著减少炼钢过程和燃煤电厂二氧化碳排放的潜力。

This project aims to develop economical and scalable carbon dioxide electrochemical technologies to convert carbon dioxide in blast furnace flue gas to formic acid as a value-added product in steel-making plants. The project expects to develop new electrochemical catalysts, to optimise the structure of electrodes and ultimately improve carbon dioxide conversion efficiency and reaction selectivity towards formic acid. The expected outcomes of this project will provide an efficient and economically viable electrochemical technology to convert carbon dioxide to a valuable product such as formic acid or syngas, with the potential to significantly reduce the emission of carbon dioxide from steel-making processes and coal-fired power plants.
