Herein discussed is a method of producing hydrogen comprising introducing a metal smelter effluent gas or a basic oxygen furnace (BOF) effluent gas or a mixture thereof into an electrochemical (EC) reactor, wherein the EC reactor comprises a mixed-conducting membrane. In an embodiment, the method comprises introducing steam into the EC reactor on one side of the membrane, wherein the effluent gas is on the opposite side of the membrane, wherein the effluent gas and the steam are separated by the membrane and do not come in contact with each other.

The invention concerns a process for the electrochemical production of formate. The process is performed in an electrochemical cell comprising a cathode compartment containing a cathode, an anode compartment containing a nickel-based anode and an ion exchange membrane separating the anode compartment from the cathode compartment. The process comprises the following steps: (a) feeding an anolyte comprising at least one polyol to the anode compartment; (b) feeding a catholyte comprising CO.sub.2 to the cathode compartment; (c) and applying a voltage difference between the cathode and the anode such that at the cathode CO.sub.2 is reduced to formate and at the anode the at least one polyol is oxidized to formate.

The present invention relates to 2D-material based composite materials such as aerogels and particularly, although not exclusively, to deposition of nanoparticles on 2D-material based aerogels. Also described are methods for manufacturing such materials.
