Abstract
Highlighted by the agreement and meetings promoted by the UN in recent years, it is noted the worldwide concern to combat the emission of greenhouse gases in order to slow the warming of the planet. We report the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to oxalic acid with 48.5 % Faradaic efficiency at -1.0 V (vs. NHE) in aprotic medium. The study shows the influence of copper dispersion on reduced graphene oxide surface as a nanostructured catalyst to produce oxalic acid.
