In this work, computer assisted design and fused deposition modelling 3D printing are
employed to devise and manufacture electrodes from polylactic acid-carbon nanotube
conductive composite. Electrodes are further modified by copper electroplating to prepare
catalysts for the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide. Scanning electron microscopy
and energy dispersive X-ray analysis are used to inspect the surface morphology and chemical
composition of obtained catalysts. Cyclovoltammetric investigations reveal that the copper
electroplating leads to the increase of electrode activity by three orders of magnitude.
