Researchers at MIT have identified , quantified, and modeled a major reason for the poor performance of electroreduction processes to convert CO 2 to fuel or other useful chemicals. For the latter, two main contributions are distinguished: gas depletion due to CO 2 consumption and ion generation in areas close to the electrocatalyst surface.
