Carbon dioxide electrolysis for defossilisation of plastic production Charles E. Creissen School of Chemical and Physical Sciences, Keele University, Staffordshire, ST5 5BG, UK Plastics are essential to modern life, but their production from fossil fuels generates significant greenhouse gas emissions. A sustainable solution to bypass this issue is CO 2 electrolysis, in which renewable electricity is used to power the production of plastic precursors. However, guiding these reactions towards desired products at high reaction rates requires combined efforts in chemistry, materials, and engineering. In this talk, I will highlight recent approaches to enhance selectivity, conversion, and efficiency of devices for high-rate CO 2 electrolysis. References 1. A. Perazio, M. Schreiber, C. E.
