In the fifth part of the Horizon 2020 research project CO2EXIDE partner film series, the ISSP UL, its specific research findings, and the achieved results are presented. Our institute’s researchers explain the creation of an alternative structure of the cathode for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to ethylene and also tell about the theoretical calculations from the first principles of the graphene sheet modified with copper atom clusters.
The CO2EXIDE aims at the development of a combined electrochemical-chemical technology for the production of ethylene oxide from biobased CO2. The project brings together physicists, chemists, engineers and dissemination and exploitation experts from five universities/research institutions, three SMEs and two industries, innovatively joining their key technologies to develop and exploit an unprecedented process based on CO2, renewable energy and water to connect the chemical and energy sector.
