In the present study, a few types of green polymer binder such as Xanthan gum (XG), Carboxyl methylcellulose (CMC) and Sodium alginate (SA) have been prepared with activated carbon-graphene oxide composite electrode (AC/GO). Throughout the experiment, CMC as an individual polymeric binder produce the least amount of the weight loss (8.28). To enhance the adhesion, the binder was mixed with synthetic binder (PEI), which results in mass loss of 1.86. Furthermore, the electrochemical analysis depicts that AC/GO-SA produces the highest current rate (-7.8 mA/cm-2) throughout the 30 min of reduction process, with 16.9 Faradaic efficiency. The experimental results show that a facile, low-cost, eco-friendly design of green polymer binder is promising for the carbon dioxide reduction, thus, promote a greener technology. © 2023, Association of American Publishers.
