Metal-Carbon-CNF Composites Obtained by Catalytic Pyrolysis of Urban Plastic Residues as Electro-Catalysts for the Reduction of CO2 Castelo-Quibén, Jesica Elmouwahidi, Abdelhakim Maldonado Hodar, Francisco José Carrasco Marín, Francisco Pérez Cadenas, Agustín Francisco Carbon dioxide CO2 electro-reduction Metal-carbon-CNF composites Plastic waste Carbon-based electrodes Carbon nanofibers Metal–carbon–carbon nanofibers composites obtained by catalytic pyrolysis of urban plastic residues have been prepared using Fe, Co or Ni as pyrolitic catalysts. The composite materials have been fully characterized from a textural and chemical point of view. The proportion of carbon nanofibers and the final content of carbon phases depend on the used pyrolitic metal with Ni being the most active pyrolitic catalysts. The composites show the electro-catalyst activity in the CO2 reduction to hydrocarbons, favoring all the formation of C1 to C4 hydrocarbons. The tendency of this activity is in accordance with the apparent faradaic efficiencies and the linear sweep voltammetries. The cobalt-based composite shows high selectivity to C3 hydrocarbons within this group of compounds. 2019-04-29T12:46:06Z 2019-04-29T12:46:06Z 2018-05-09 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Castelo-Quibén, J.
