Electrochemical CO2 reduction - The macroscopic world of electrode design, reactor concepts & economic aspects

Alina Gawel et al.

Summary: Efficient electrochemical conversion of CO2 into valuable chemical feedstocks requires well-coordinated interaction of all electrolyzer compartments, optimal matching of catalyst, cell setups, electrode design, membrane usage, and process parameters. This review aims to comprehensively summarize the current literature on how these aspects affect the overall performance of CO2 electrolysis and highlights the importance of CO2 supply and reaction product treatment for economic competitiveness and sustainable energy economy.

Electrolyte Effects on CO2 Electrochemical Reduction to CO

Giulia Marcandalli et al.

Summary: The electrochemical reduction of CO2 faces challenges such as low energy and Faradaic efficiencies due to concurrent electrochemical reactions and solution acid-base reactions. Recent studies have shown that the nature of the electrolyte, specifically pH and cation identity, plays a crucial role in tuning the efficiency of CO2RR to CO in aqueous solutions.

Investigation of Electrolyte-Dependent Carbonate Formation on Gas Diffusion Electrodes for CO2 Electrolysis

Emiliana R. Cofell et al.

Summary: This study investigates the degradation of gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) in a flowing, alkaline CO2 electrolyzer via the formation of carbonate deposits on the GDE surface. The rate of carbonate deposit formation was found to increase with increasing electrolyte molarity and become more prevalent in K+-containing electrolytes. The formation of carbonate deposits was found to diminish electrode performance in ECO2R and reduce GDE hydrophobicity, leading to increased flooding and internal deposits within the GDE substrate.

Operando cathode activation with alkali metal cations for high current density operation of water-fed zero-gap carbon dioxide electrolysers

B. Endrodi et al.

Summary: Precipitates that form in the cathode of continuous-flow CO2 electrolysers hinder their long-term operation, but the alkali metals they are formed from actually boost activity. Researchers address this dichotomy by periodically infusing the cathode with alkaline cations, enabling the electrolyser to operate stably and efficiently for extended periods.
