Producing green energy has become the main goal in our society in the search of reducing or eliminating the carbon emission from fossil fuels.

In this thesis we have discussed several parameters that affect the electrochemical conversion of enviromentaly harmful molecules such as nitrates and carbon dioxide to more valuable and less deleterious compounds, in order to cast light onto the mechanism of the reaction to achieve an efficient and…
