Abstract
This doctoral work focuses on the development of environmentally friendly processes for the synthesis of metal oxides and metal sulphide (nano)electrocatalysts. These catalysts are then utilized for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 and N2 to produce value-added chemicals in a semi-batch laboratory electrolyzer.
