This contribution will focus on the conversion of CO2 to carbon-based fuels and chemicals, with a focus on electrified processes. As atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) continue to rise, innovative approaches are needed to develop technologies capable of producing fuels and chemicals in a renewable, sustainable manner. This talk will describe efforts involving electrocatalytic approaches, with several points of emphasis: (1) tandem/cascade approaches to improve selectivity, (2) operando approaches to understand the dynamics of materials and interfaces in real-time, and (3) a focus on durability to understand mechanisms of degradation that can ultimately inform the design and development of more stable systems. This talk will cover fundamental studies on model surfaces and extend insights from those systems toward more applied technological platforms.
