초록

이산화탄소 (CO2)의 전기화학적 환원은 CO2를 고부가가치 탄소화합물로 변환하는 효과적인 방법으로 주목받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 e-beam 증착법과 양극 산화법을 이용하여 전기화학적 CO2 환원용 g-C3N4가 도입된 다공성Au(pAu) 전극을 합성하는 손쉬운 방법과 그 특성에 대해 보고한다. 제작된 pAu@g-C3N4 전극 (@ -0.9 VRHE)은 pAu 전극대비 더 우수한 전기화학적 성능을 보였다. CO2 환원 성능을 확인해 보았을 때, 두 전극 모두 CO 생성물에 대해 100%의패러데이 효율 (FE)을 기록하였으며, pAu@g-C3N4 전극은 최대 9.94 mg/s의 CO 생산량을 나타내어 pAu 전극에 비해 최대 2.2배 많은 CO를 생산하였다. 본 연구는 CO2 배출로 인한 기후 변화에 대응하는 경제적이며 지속 가능한 방법을 제공할 뿐만 아니라, 전기화학적 CO2 환원용 전극 개발에 크게 기여할 것으로 예상된다.

Abstract

The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) is gaining attention as an effective method for converting CO2 into high-value carbon compounds. This paper reports a f acile m eth od f or s ynth esizing and characterizing g-C3N4- modified porous Au (pAu) electrodes for electrochemical CO2 reduction using e-beam deposition and anodization techniques. The fabricated pAu@g-C3N4 electrode (@ -0.9 VRHE) demonstrated superior electrochemical performance compared to the pAu electrode. Both electrodes exhibited a Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 100% for CO production. The pAu@g-C3N4 electrode achieved a maximum CO production rate of 9.94 mg/s, which is up to 2.2 times higher than that of the pAu electrode. This study provides an economical and sustainable approach to addressing climate change caused by CO2 emissions and significantly contributes to the development of electrodes for electrochemical CO2 reduction.
