Carbon dioxide (CO2 ) is an abundant, inexpensive, renewable C1 resource and the main component of greenhouse gas, thereby the research for its sustainable and efficient conversion has received notable attention in recent years. Electrochemical organic synthesis, as a green and efficient synthetic method, is convinced to be an ideal approach for CO2 utilization. In this review, recent advances in electrocarboxylation with CO2 were summarized through different reaction types, which would disclose the great potential of electrocarboxylation in green organic synthesis.
Keywords: CO2 utilization; carboxylation; electrochemistry; electroreduction; electrosynthesis.
