BORON-DOPED COPPER CATALYSTS FOR EFFICIENT CONVERSION OF CO2 TO MULTI-CARBON HYDROCARBONS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS

摘要

The invention relates to an electrocatalyst for catalyzing conversion of carbon dioxide into multi-carbon compounds comprising a boron-doped copper catalytic material. The electrocatalyst is produced by impregnation of a single crystal Cu (111) material with boric acid or by reacting Cu(ll) chloride with borohydride. The electrocatalyst is used for producing a C2 hydrocarbon such as ethylene from CO2.
