CO2 electroreduction favors carbon isotope 12C over 13C and facilitates isotope separation

Summary: We discovered that CO2 electroreduction strongly favors the conversion of the dominant isotope of carbon (12C) and discriminates against the less abundant, stable carbon 13C isotope. Both absorption of CO2 in the alkaline electrolyte and CO2 electrochemical reduction favor the lighter isoto...
