An efficient ammonium chloride roasting approach to separating salt from the electrolytic carbon in molten carbonate

Kang Cheng et al.

Summary: Molten salt carbon dioxide capture and electrochemical transformation (MSCC-ET) is a promising solution for reducing global CO2 emissions. A new approach called ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) roasting (ACRA) is proposed to effectively separate lithium salts from carbon material obtained by the MSCC-ET process. The ACRA process can save significant amounts of water and heat energy compared to traditional separation methods.

Effects of microporous layer on electrolyte flooding in gas diffusion electrodes and selectivity of CO2 electrolysis to CO

Yuming Wu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of microporous layer (MPL) thickness on the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) performance of gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) coated with silver nanoparticle catalysts. The results show that GDEs with the thickest MPL have the highest selectivity and stability for CO production at high current densities, while GDEs with thinner MPL achieve lower CO selectivity at low current densities. These findings suggest opportunities for improving CO2 electrolyzer performance by optimizing the MPL structure and wettability.

Electrode Engineering for Electrochemical CO2Reduction

Gaopeng Li et al.

Summary: Excessive carbon dioxide emissions cause severe global warming. Converting CO2 into valuable fuels and chemicals through electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) shows great potential in reducing carbon emissions. Though research has focused on creating high-performance catalysts, the overall efficiency of the CO2RR process is limited at the device level, especially in terms of slow CO2 mass transportation and insufficient current density output. Recently, gas diffusion electrodes have been investigated to improve CO2RR performance and achieve commercially relevant current densities. This review highlights the progress and strategies in electrode engineering for enhancing CO2RR performance and stabilizing electrodes for long-term CO2 electrolysis, and suggests future directions for accelerating the development of advanced electrodes for industrial CO2 electrolyzers.

Understanding the Effect of*CO Coverage on C-C Coupling towardCO2Electroreduction

Xiangdong Kong et al.

Summary: Cu-based tandem nanocrystals are widely used in producing multicarbon (C2+) products via enhanced CO intermediate (*CO) coverage during CO2 electroreduction. By coupling CoPc with Cu in a gas diffusion electrode, a significantly higher faradaic efficiency for C2+ products was achieved compared to using Cu alone. In-depth understanding of the surface coverage-dependent C-C coupling mechanism was provided through in situ experiments and density functional theory calculations.

Importance of Substrate Pore Size and Wetting Behavior in Gas Diffusion Electrodes for CO2 Reduction

Alessandro Senocrate et al.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of substrate pore size and wetting behavior on the performance of polymer-based Ag gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) for electrochemical CO2 reduction. The researchers found a strong correlation between substrate pore size and GDE product selectivity and stability, which can be attributed to the GDE's resistance to aqueous electrolyte penetration. The study proposes water entry pressure as a metric to assess GDE quality and demonstrates that high water entry pressure substrates result in improved CO selectivity and stability, as well as increased resilience to surface Cu contaminants.

Electrolysis of Lithium-Free Molten Carbonates

Xiang Chen et al.

Summary: Converting CO2/carbonate to functional carbon materials and oxygen in molten carbonates is viewed as a promising approach to tackling environmental and energy challenges. Electrolysis of lithium-free molten carbonates with the use of low-cost Ni-based inert anode can produce high value-added carbon and oxygen. The solubilities of alkaline-earth metal oxides in molten carbonates differ, leading to two proposed electrolysis mechanisms based on the solubility difference of oxides.

Elucidating Mass Transport Regimes in Gas Diffusion Electrodes for CO2 Electroreduction

Thomas Moore et al.

Summary: This study developed a resolved, pore-scale model for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 within a liquid-filled catalyst layer, identifying three CO2 mass transport regimes and validating the assumption of pore-scale uniformity implicit in popular, volume-averaged GDE models. The CO2 conversion efficiency strongly depends on the governing mass transport regime, with operational-phase diagrams constructed to guide catalyst layer design.

Gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) for electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and dinitrogen to value-added products: a review

Hesamoddin Rabiee et al.

Summary: Electrochemical reduction of gaseous feeds such as CO2, CO, and N-2 holds promise for sustainable energy and chemical production. Gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) maintain a high gas concentration in the vicinity of the catalyst and improve mass transport, resulting in higher current densities. However, challenges exist in tuning product selectivity and reaction stability in the GDE environment, requiring further research and development of solutions.
