| الملخص: | <p dir="ltr">Increasing CO<sub>2</sub> emissions from industry has disastrous consequences for the environment. Effective utilization of CO<sub>2</sub> as a carbon source can address the environmental challenges, and we can address the energy crisis caused by fossil fuel consumption. Electrochemical conversion of CO<sub>2</sub> is a promising method recently gaining widespread popularity. Its high productivity, however, remains a major challenge. This work involved a facile novel preparation of a suitable CuO nanocomposite to reduce CO<sub>2</sub> into useful fuels effectively. Hydrothermal synthesis was used to synthesize the nanocomposite. The synthesized NC's structure, morphology, and elemental analysis were evaluated using XRD, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, and TEM. ICP-OES analysis was performed to quantify Cu concentration in the CuO composite, confirming 98.6% of Cu of the prepared matrix. The cyclic voltammetry method has been used to study the electrochemical activity of NC for CO<sub>2</sub> reduction. Additionally, the NMR & GC-MS analyses were performed to identify the product. Regarding CO<sub>2</sub> reduction, the NC performed greatly better than the ordinary CuO. In addition, the NC exhibits high structural stability and durability, demonstrating its potential to reduce CO<sub>2</sub> into fuels.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Journal of Environmental Management<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.118592" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.118592</a></p> |
