The design, fabrication, and on-sun characterization of a solar dish concentrating system for performing the two-step thermochemical redox splitting H2O CO2 is presented. It comprises primary sun-tracking 4.4 m-dia. concentrator coupled to secondary planar rotating reflector. This optical arrangement enables operation two (or more) reactors side-by-side both reactions simultaneously by alternating input between them while making continuous uninterrupted use incoming concentrated sunlight....
The electrochemical reduction of CO2 (CO2RR) from a concentrated (bi)carbonate solution represents novel approach supplying carbon feedstock to reactor. While this achieves comparable performance gas-feed systems, it substantially reduces the amount residual in output, simplifying separation products unreacted CO2. In work, CO 2 M KHCO3 will be studied by determining influence membrane's polarity, anolyte's pH and temperature on CO2RR zero-gap flow cell. These parameters were evaluated...
CO2 electrochemical reduction (CO2 ER) from (bi)carbonate feed presents an opportunity to efficiently couple this process alkaline-based carbon capture systems. Likewise, while method of reducing currently lags behind gas-fed electrolysers in certain performance metrics, it offers a significant improvement utilization which makes the worth exploring. This paper two simple modifications bicarbonate-fed ER system that enhance selectivity towards CO. Specifically, modified hydrophilic cathode...
