Abstract:

 As the situation of energy crisis and environmental pollution become more and more serious, the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO₂) has attracted lots of attention because of its multiple meanings such as environment, resources and economic benefits. In this paper, the state of the art electrochemical reduction of CO₂ in aqueous solution is reviewed, and the latest research progress in Cu-based catalysts with different structures and morphologies is summarized. In the end, the application prospects, opportunities and challenges of Cu-based materials are briefly presented to provide an outlook for future research directions.

Key words: carbon dioxide, electrocatalysis, reduction, electrode materials, copper-based catalyst
