Reducing carbon dioxide efficiently to reuse and recycle it

Reducing carbon dioxide efficiently to reuse and recycle it

Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide holds promise for converting CO2 into valuable products but is hampered by stability issues and wasted carbon. A proton-exchange membrane that uses lead as a catalyst demonstrates the feasibility of durable and efficient CO2 reduction.
