Electrochemical Reduction Products of Carbon Dioxide at Some Metallic Electrodes in Nonaqueous Electrolytes

Regarding the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide in nonaqueous electrolytes, it has been clarified that the main products are oxalic acid at a Pb electrode and carbon monoxide at Sn and In electrodes. In the case of a Zn electrode, substantial amounts of oxalic acid, glyoxylic acid and carbon monoxide have been produced.
