N2 - The research in electrochemical reduction of CO2 is shifting towards the discovery of new and novel materials. This study shows a new class of material, that of Ge-S-In chalcogenide glass, to be active for reduction of CO2 in aqueous solutions. Experiments were conducted with bulk and particle form of the material, yielding different product for each structural form. Faradaic efficiency of upto 15% was observed in bulk form for CO production while formic acid with up to 26.1 % faradaic efficiency was measured in powder form. Chalcogenide studies have focused primarily on the photoelectrochemical reduction however these results provide a strong merit for introducing metal in chalcogenide glass structures for electrochemical reduction of CO2. The activity for CO2 reduction and the change in product selectivity reflects that further efforts to improve the glass structures can be undertaken in order to increase the faradaic efficiency and selectivity of the products.
