The electrochemical synthesis of syngas (CO and H2) has garnered considerable attention in the context Fischer–Tropsch (FT) employing thermal catalysts. Nonetheless, need for a novel, cost-effective technique persists. In this investigation, we introduce direct (dEC) approach FT that functions under ambient conditions by utilizing p-block element (Sn In) overlaid Cu electrode. Surface *CO H* species were obtained an electrolytic medium through CO2 + H+ e– → HOOCad (or CO adsorption)...

Metal alloy electrocatalysts are commonly used in electrochemical (EC) CO2 reduction. In this study, we demonstrate the application of a ternary CuNiZn as an electrocatalyst for both and CO reductions. Our results show that formate, CO, CH4, C2–7 hydrocarbons were produced through process initial adsorption followed by subsequent stepwise reactions. Interestingly, also observed production CH4 (CnH2n+2 CnH2n) EC reduction, which occurred via direct adsorption, hydrogenation Furthermore,...

Converting CO2 into Cn>2 hydrocarbons has been a significant challenge, but recent research shown that cadmium (Cd) can be used to produce C2–7 (CnH2n and CnH2n+2) directly through electrochemical reduction in K2HPO4/KH2PO4 buffer. The production of was found enhanced by engineering the interface Cd surface with other transition metals. This process imitates Fischer–Tropsch (F–T) synthesis, which involves polymerization reactions couple carbon atoms together, resulting formation long-chain...
