Abstract Among all greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide is the most produced worldwide. The reduction of this molecule into valuable products has been a hot topic in different scientific fields, where metallic organic frameworks (MOF) have been used as a catalyst for this conversion reaction. Electrochemical flow systems attract direct interest for industrial applications that are economically viable both for production requirements and valuable products. The catalyst ZIF-8 can be used for the reduction of CO2 into carbon monoxide, as several studies have proven in batch scale. This MOF can be synthesized in flow at conditions that requires low energy consumptions and obtains CO, which is a valuable product. Therefore, this thesis has aimed to synthesize modifications of ZIF-8 that could enhance the conversion of CO2 and the subsequent testing in both batch and flow systems. |
