The electrochemical reduction of aqueous carbon dioxide to methanol at molybdenum electrodes with low overpotentials
TL;DR: In this paper, a pH 42, 2 M Na 2 SO 4 carbon dioxide saturated solution was used for open circuit reduction of carbon dioxide. But the results showed that the molybdenum electrodes showed no detectable moly bdenum dioxide on the surface indicating that the electrodes are cathodically protected during electrolysis.
