Semiconductor/Electrolyte Interfaces for CO2 Reduction - Recycling of CO2 to fuels and chemicals

Carbon dioxide has become the most discussed green house gas in the last decades. Impact on global warming gives rise to intensive research in the field of carbon capture and utilization. This work describes an approach of reducing CO2 to fuels and chemicals and therefore depicts a pathway towards CO2 recycling. Application of an electrochemical technique further offers the possibility of renewable energy storage in chemical compounds. Tackling the CO2 issue and involving at the same time the storage problem of renewable energies, such as solar or wind energy, provides a sustainable method of generating fuels and chemicals.

About the author

Dr. Stefanie Schlager studied Technical Chemistry and Chemical and Economical Engineering at the Johannes Kepler University Linz. In her two diploma theses she focussed on the investigation of semiconductor interfaces for Schottky diodes and CO2 reduction. For her PhD she continued the research on CO2 reduction with bio-electrochemical approaches.
