It is widely believed that room temperature electrochemical reduction of water to molecular hydrogen offers a significant promise for supplying CO 2 -free hydrogen, which can be used directly as a fuel or as reactant to convert CO 2 and to upgrade petroleum and biomass feedstocks to value-added chemicals and fuels through hydrotreating processes.
