Show moreThis thesis focuses on the synthesis, characterization and performance towards CO2 electroreduction of mono and bi-metallic particles based on p-block metals. With an industrial perspective in mind, we try to synthesize particulate, high surface area materials with clean, scalable synthesis methods where possible and test their performance in H-Cell and gas diffusion electrode flow cell configurations. With a combination of characterization techniques, we find possible explanations for the catalytic behaviors. Show less
