A realistic perspective for CO₂ triggered tuning of electrical conductivity.

ABSTRACT: To seek sustainable CO₂ sequestration and conversion, an electrochemical cell has been investigated for carbon capture and utilization strategy (CCU). In this cell, atmospheric CO₂ is captured under ambient conditions and incorporated into power generation using zinc nanopowder as the catalyst. As a result, a method was developed to tune the electronic property of zinc by passing CO₂. It was observed that nearly three orders of magnitude of conductivity could be changed along with achieving a carbon capture strategy. The system also exhibited good stability. In this process, it was observed that efficient current generation could be achieved due to zinc's active participation as a catalyst. The detailed physicochemical characterizations of catalysts were al
