Scientists at Stanford University have developed electrochemical cells that convert carbon monoxide (CO) derived from CO 2 into commercially viable compounds more effectively and efficiently than existing technologies. Electrolysis must convert CO into products at a high rate with a low overall energy demand in order to be viable.
