Abstract

CO ₂ is the planet's most important atmospheric contribution to the greenhouse effect. The electrochemical reduction of CO ₂ into fuels attracts sustained attention. A large variety of transition metal complexes has been studied as electrocatalysts, however only few appear to be effective in pure aqueous electrolyte. The accompanying reduction of protons limits the efficiency of the electrocatalysis. One solution to this problem is to use complexes in a polymer-confined system deposited on metallic cathode surfaces.1 Here we present an approach to the modification of surfaces of solid electrodes by applying electrically conducting polymers containing immobilized complexes bearing multidentate nitrogen based ligands.
