Abstract
The consumption of fossil fuels has significantly increased in recent centuries, driven by global technological and industrial advancements. According to recent observations, this has resulted in a considerable rise in emissions of climate-altering gases, particularly carbon dioxide (CO₂), with atmospheric concentrations increasing from the pre-industrial level of 300 ppm to over 400 ppm. Among the most promising strategies for reducing CO₂ emissions is capturing and converting CO₂ using electrolysers. The use of electrochemical cells for CO₂ conversion is particularly intriguing because it allows the utilization of electrical energy from renewable sources, even those inherently intermittent and unpredictable. Moreover, this approach enables the storage of renewable energy in the chemical bonds of the produced chemicals.
The capture and conversion processes are traditionally conducted in two separate, independent phases
