description The current environmental situation requires taking actions regarding processes for energy production, thus promoting renewable energies, which must be complemented with the development of routes to reduce pollution, such as the capture and storage of CO<sub>2</sub>. Graphene materials have been chosen for their unique properties to be used either as electrocatalyst or as catalyst support (mainly for non-noble metals) that develop adequate efficiencies for this reaction. This review focuses on comparing experimental and theoretical results of the electrochemical reduction reaction of carbon dioxide (ECO<sub>2</sub>RR) described in the scientific literature to establish a correlation between them. This work aims to establish the state of the art on the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide on graphene-based catalysts.
