Fluids at electrode/membrane interfaces suppress alcohol crossover in CO electroreduction
Abstract
Electrochemical CO reduction currently suffers from liquid product crossover, culminating in high costs for downstream separation. Here, we leverage the difference in the driving forces of alcohol and acetate crossover and address the issue by introducing pure-water fluids at the cathode/membrane interfaces of zero-gap CO electrolyzers.
