title: Electrochemistry of Carbon Dioxide on Carbon Electrodes.
abstract: Carbon electrodes have the advantages of being chemically inert at negative potential ranges in all media and high offset potentials for hydrogen evolution in comparison to metal electrodes, and therefore are the most suitable electrodes for electrochemistry and electrochemical conversion of CO2into valuable chemicals. Herein we summarize on carbon electrodes the voltammetry, electrochemical and electrocatalytic CO2reduction, as well as electron synthesis using CO2and carbon electrodes. The electrocatalytic CO2reduction using carbocatalyts and the future activities about electrochemical CO2conversion are highlighted.
