Abstract
The urgent demand on net-zero emissions urges solutions for sustainable energy and chemical processes. Electrochemical CO2 reduction stands as a promising avenue in this pursuit, leveraging renewable energy sources to convert CO2 and H2O into valuable chemicals and fuels. Although fundamental knowledges have been acquired by the intensive research efforts for the last decades, challenges persist, particularly in achieving high activity, selectivity, and long-term stability for commercialization of the technology. Addressing these challenges, recent investigations highlight the pivotal role of engineered catalyst microenvironments relating to mass and ion transportation. This review explores the impacts of leveraging conductive polymers in tailoring the catalyst microenvironments, thereby enhancing activity, selectivity, and long-term stability and offers valuable insights for advancing its technologies.
期刊介绍：
The development of the Current Opinion journals stemmed from the acknowledgment of the growing challenge for specialists to stay abreast of the expanding volume of information within their field. In Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, they help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:
1.The views of experts on current advances in electrochemistry in a clear and readable form.
2.Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.
In the realm of electrochemistry, the subject is divided into 12 themed sections, with each section undergoing an annual review cycle:
• Bioelectrochemistry • Electrocatalysis • Electrochemical Materials and Engineering • Energy Storage: Batteries and Supercapacitors • Energy Transformation • Environmental Electrochemistry • Fundamental & Theoretical Electrochemistry • Innovative Methods in Electrochemistry • Organic & Molecular Electrochemistry • Physical & Nano-Electrochemistry • Sensors & Bio-sensors •
