“…[21] CO 2 reacts with electrons and protons simultaneously on the cathode surface to produce a desired product or products. [22,23] Cathodic reactions depend on catalyst type, can vary in the range of following reactions (Table 1), or mostly depend on the number of transferred electrons and protons. [24,25] The reduction reaction on the cathode surface occurs through adsorption and activation of CO 2 molecules to form relevant intermediates, depending on the type of catalyst and desired products.…”

Carbon dioxide emission into the atmosphere, which originates from fossil fuels consumption, has led to a serious environmental and energy crisis. Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) into valuable chemicals such as carbon monoxide, ethanol, ethylene, and methane not only help lower the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere but is also beneficial for sustainable energy production. Therefore, numerous works are assigned to improving efficient electrocatalytic materials for the selective CO2RR. Metal–organic framework (MOF)‐derived catalytic materials mostly based on transition metals demonstrate permissible CO2RR owing to their specific composition, tunable surface nanostructure and texture, and affordable market prices. In this work, the best effort is put to describe the most basic concept of electrochemical CO2RR to provide a consensus. The effect of MOF structure and surface analysis are discussed. This is reason that MOFs as catalysts for electrochemical CO2RR offers several advantages over traditional catalysts, such as tunable surface structure, multifunctionality, selectivity control, and stability under CO2RR operation. And then, some of the most recent reported works on MOF‐based catalysts are summarized, to provide and inspire further investigations and ideas in this research field. However, despite these advantages, there are still research gaps that need to be addressed. Some of these gaps include being cost‐effective and economical process for preparing MOF‐based catalysts, long‐term stability for industrial usage, and scalability of the catalyst. Thereby, further studies are essential to fully exploit the potential of MOFs in advancing CO2RR technologies.

“…Therefore, solving the problem of wind energy consumption in off-grid systems has become a research hotspot. , The direct utilization of wind energy in energy-intensive industries has obvious advantages. The electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 (CO 2 ER) is a significant method for converting intermittent wind energy into chemical energy. − Among the products formed after CO 2 reduction, methanol is considered a suitable alternative fuel and an industrial raw material with the characteristics of easy transportation and storage. − Therefore, the development of an off-grid energy storage system that can dissipate wind power and convert CO 2 into methanol is very valuable and has great prospects for industrial applications. − …”

Energy storage systems based on off-grid fluctuated wind power offer an attractive approach through the electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 to methanol. Potential fluctuations derived from wind power cause various reduction products and decrease electrocatalytic efficiency in the CO 2 -to-methanol system. A periodic rotation control method of individual electrolyzers in electrolysis cells array with rated power (100%), fluctuating (0− 100%), and standby (0%) status is proposed to solve potential fluctuation problems. O 2 volume is creatively used as an intermediate bridge to link potential and power so that a curve is fitted as a function of power−methanol Faradaic efficiency. The rotation control method improves the methanol Faradaic efficiency by ∼18.5% compared to the conventional average and cumulation control method, while it reduces the coefficient of variation by 67.9% compared to the cumulation control method. This demonstration of the rotation control method provides a promising approach for the efficient utilization of wind energy with energy storage systems.

“…In this framework, in order to reduce the carbon accumulation in the atmosphere, the research community has been focusing its attention on the so-called carbon capture and utilization technologies [3]. In particular, electrochemistry is among the most promising routes for the carbon dioxide conversion into fuels through the CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) approach, thanks to several factors: mild working conditions in terms of pressure and temperature, repeatability of the process, use of non-toxic green reagents as electrolytes, up-scalability [4] and the possibility of the integration with photovoltaics for the sustainability of the device [5][6][7][8].…”

In the research for the decarbonization processes, electrochemistry is among the most studied routes for the conversion of carbon dioxide in added-value products, thanks to the up-scalability and the mild conditions of work of the technology. In this framework, modeling the electrochemical reactor is a powerful tool to predict and optimize important features of the electroreduction. In this study, we propose a comprehensive modeling for the whole electrochemical reactor, which has been validated through the experiments with good agreement. In particular, the performance of the cell is studied as a function of the voltage applied, for different sizes of the reactor. Furthermore, the model has been used to study the chemical conditions at the cathode surface, as well as electrochemical conditions at different applied biases and flow rates of the electrolyte.
