Molecular Approaches to the Mechanism of CO2 Reduction to Methanol by Cobalt Phthalocyanine.
The electrochemical reduction of CO2 has received significant scientific interest over the past two decades as a key step in the synthesis of CO2 into combustible fuels. Cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) adsorbed on carbon nanotubes has risen as a rare electrocatalyst that reduces CO2 beyond two electrons, specifically to m...
