Increasing emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere due to the use of fossil fuels and ongoing deforestation are affecting the global climate. To reach the Paris climate agreement, in the coming decades low emission technologies must be developed, which allow for carbon removal on a Gt per year-scale. In this regard, we propose the electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide to oxalic acid as a potentially viable pathway for large scale CO utilization and storage. Combined with water oxidation, in principle this transformation does not need stoichiometric amounts of co-reagents and minimize the necessary electrons for the reduction of carbon dioxide.
由于化石燃料的使用以及持续的森林砍伐，大气中二氧化碳排放量的增加正在影响全球气候。为了达成《巴黎气候协定》，在未来几十年必须开发低排放技术，以实现每年数十亿吨规模的碳去除。在这方面，我们提出将二氧化碳电化学转化为草酸，作为大规模二氧化碳利用和储存的一种潜在可行途径。与水氧化相结合，原则上这种转化不需要化学计量的共反应物，并将还原二氧化碳所需的电子量降至最低。
