(54) | Electrolysis cell and method of use |
(57) The present invention discloses an improved solid polymer electrolysis cell (2) for
the reduction of carbon dioxide. The improvement being the use of a cathode (6) having
a metal phthalocyanine catalyst which results in the suppression of the formation
of hydrogen during the reduction process and the subsequent improved conversion efficiency
for carbon dioxide. |
