Cation exchange membranes play a major role in water management and, consequently, salt within zero-gap CO 2 electrolyzers. Optimizing membrane properties is, therefore, the most efficient strategy for mitigating crystallization.
Abstract Empirical electrocatalyst research generally consists of the synthesis and experimental characterization catalysts analysis electrolysis products by conventional analytical techniques. In‐situ electron paramagnetic resonance spectro‐electrochemistry provides an evidence‐based in‐depth understanding formed intermediates reaction mechanism enabling desired tuning electrocatalysts. The use this technique has been underexploited because opposite requirements they impose on setup. In...
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is not considered a standard technique within the electrochemist's toolkit. It was used more frequently in electrocatalysis research from 1960′s until 1990′s to identify reaction intermediates and elucidate mechanisms, but less nowadays. Since however, technological progress has made advanced EPR methods readily available, which allowed for sensitive measurements better identification of intermediate species. Furthermore, developments...
Beside activity, electrocatalyst stability is gaining in importance. The most common degradation mechanism the loss of active surface area due to nanoparticle growth via coalescence/agglomeration. We propose a particle confinement strategy vertically oriented graphene deposition overcome nanoparticles.
In this work, an improved in-situ EPR hydrodynamic electrochemical cell design is constructed and validated. The created platform enables the fast accurate screening of new electrocatalytic materials, providing insights into their effects on radical products a reaction. Furthermore, it essential that reaction kinetics are not influenced by set-up mass transfer can be controlled. Our modular allows for easy replacement parts adjustments to electrodes in order unravel catalysts' influence...
