Carbon dioxide transformation facilitated by earth abundant metals

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1494576

Novel complexes of various earth-abundant, inexpensive transition or main group metals that facilitate the transformation of carbon dioxide into other more useful organic products. These complexes can bind and alter the CO2 at mild conditions of temperature and pressure, enabling, according to some embodiments, the electrochemical conversion of CO2 into new products.
