Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to carbon monoxide (CO) and other C1 products under mild conditions opens a way to produce fuels and chemical feedstock. Molecular catalysts made of Earth-abundant metals may be operated in homogeneous conditions or as supported heterogeneous systems.

Co and Fe complexes demonstrate excellent conversion of CO2 to CO with a selectivity reaching 99 %, in organic solvent as well as in water. By setting proper conditions, we recently discovered that formaldehyde and methanol (Co complex) as well as methane (Fe complex) could be obtained. In other words, CO2 could be reduced with 2, 4, 6 and 8 electrons with molecular catalysts. Our most recent results will be presented.
