Gas-fed CO2 electrochemical flow reactors are appealing platforms for the electrolytic conversion of into fuels and chemical feedstocks at commercially relevant current densities (≥100 mA/cm2). An inherent challenge in development these is delivering sufficient water to cathode sustain reduction reaction, while also preventing accumulation excess porous (i.e., flooding). We present herein experimental evidence showing flooding a zero-gap electrolyzer 200 mA/cm2. This causes 37% decrease...

Bicarbonate electrolysers convert carbon capture solutions into chemicals and fuels bypass the need for energy-intensive CO 2 recovery. Porous metal electrodes are more effective than composite this type of electrolyser.

We present an analytical electrolyzer with sensors embedded within flow plates to enable direct measurement of electrolyte temperatures and pressures in real time during water electrolysis. Flow either parallel or serpentine channels a total eight equally spaced were integrated into cell containing nickel foam gas diffusion layer anion exchange membrane.

&lt;p&gt;We demonstrate here that a porous free-standing silver foam cathode in an electrolytic flow electrolyzer mediates efficient electrolysis of 3.0 M bicarbonate solutions into CO. These results have direct implications for carbon capture schemes where OH- react with CO2 to form bicarbonate-rich need be treated recycle the sorbent and recover CO2. Our study shows viable path replacing high-temperature thermal process currently used from these carbon&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;capture by using...
