摘要: Anthropogenic carbon emissions and the rising global energy demand are continuously intensifying the urgent need for immediate technological advancements for their mitig ation. The electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and carbon monoxide (CO) into valuable chemicals, such as ethylene, acetate, ethanol, and propanol, is attra cting significant attention as a solution to the CO₂ emissions and energy crisis. Electr ocatalytic production of propanol from CO₂/CO offers a more cost-effective alternative to conventional manufacturing processes. Yet, electrocatalytic CO₂/CO-to-propanol synt hesis is hindered by substantial thermodynamic barriers, low faradaic efficiency, poor energy efficiency, and complex coupling mechanisms between C₁ and C₂ active interm ediates. Given these challenges, a deeper understanding of the CO₂/CO-to-propanol co nversion mechanism and the characteristics of effective catalysts is crucial. This timely review provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in catalyst des ign, reaction conditions, and the electrode-electrolyte interface chemistry for CO₂/CO r eduction to propanol across a broad range of catalyst substrates. This review also hig hlights the fundamental limitations and prospects in propanol production through electr ocatalytic reduction of CO₂/CO, offering valuable insights into the emerging field.
