Concerning the first aspect, low-cost catalysts able to work at lower temperatures have been prepared and compared with commercial catalysts; for the second one, new catalysts for methanol and ethanol electrochemical oxidation exhibiting current densities that are double those of the commercial ones have been developed; as regards the third one, carbon-supported catalysts for the electroreduction of CO2 based on Fe and Pd were synthesized and tested. Formic acid was obtained as the main product on all Fe/C electrodes.2015http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/13497710.1016/j.crci.2015.06.006http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/134977oai:zaguan.unizar.es:134977info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ENE2014-52518-C2-1-RCOMPTES RENDUS CHIMIE 18, 11 (2015), 1229-1241byhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
