PRODUCTION OF DENDRITIC ELECTROCATALYSTS FOR THE REDUCTION OF CO2 AND/OR CO

摘要

Various embodiments include a method for producing a gas diffusion electrode comprising a metal M selected from Ag, Au, Cu and mixtures and/or alloys, the method comprising: providing a copper-, silver- and/or gold-containing starting material comprising at least one alkaline earth metal-copper, alkaline earth metal-silver and/or alkaline earth metal-gold phase, where the alkaline earth metal is selected from the group consisting of: Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba; introducing the starting material into a solution having a pH of less than 5 and reacting to give a catalyst material; removing and washing the catalyst material; and processing the catalyst material to form a gas diffusion electrode.
