A product includes a dilute alloy catalyst for carbon dioxide reduction. The catalyst has a majority component and at least one minority component. The majority component is present in a concentration of greater than 90 atomic percent of the catalyst. The majority component is copper, and each minority component is selected from the group consisting of: a transition metal, a main group metal, a lanthanide, and a semimetal.

Dilute alloy catalysts for electrochemical CO2 reduction

A thermo-electrochemical reactive capture apparatus includes an anode and a cathode, wherein the anode includes a first catalyst, wherein the cathode includes a second catalyst, a porous ceramic support positioned between the anode and the cathode, an electrolyte mixture in pores of the ceramic support, and a steam flow system on an outer side of the cathode. The outer side of the cathode is opposite an inner side of the cathode and the inner side of the cathode is adjacent to the ceramic support. In addition, the electrolyte mixture is configured to be molten at a temperature below about 600° C.
