Porous metal electrodes enable efficient electrolysis of carbon capture solutions

Zishuai Zhang et al.

Summary: This study reports a bicarbonate electrolyser with a free-standing porous silver electrode, which is easier to fabricate and more hydrophilic than the commonly used composite carbon electrode. The electrolyser converts aqueous carbon capture solutions enriched with bicarbonate into carbon products and generates hydroxide for further reaction with waste CO2. The performance of this electrolyser is comparable to gas-fed CO2 electrolysers.
