This study investigates CO2 capture and electrochemical reduction using gold electrodes modified with L-lysine (Lys) via self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). ATR-SEIRAS measurements of the Lys modified Au electrodes in 0.1 M Na2SO4 aq. confirmed that CO2 is converted to carbamate/carbamic acid, with the amount increasing at more negative potentials, and that formic acid is generated as a reduction product. The results indicate that L-lysine-modified Au electrodes are promising materials capable of CO2 capture and the production of useful substances in aqueous solutions.
