The electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction to produce acetaldehyde, methanol and ethanol is investigated by using perovskite type electrode (La0.9Sr0.1CuO3). The experiments were performed under 100 mA/㎠ and -2 to -2.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The highest faradaic efficiencies for methanol, ethanol, acetaldehyde were 11.6, 15.3, and 6.2%, respectively. The experimental data demonstrated that the capability of the perovskite type oxide for the electrode of electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction to produce alcohols was superior to other metal electrode.
