Catalyst layer at the junction of a forward bias bipolar membrane for CO2 electrolysis

Matthieu André Dessiex, Sophia Haussener

CO2 reduction in an electrolysis cell with a forward bias bipolar membrane (BPM) ensures good selectivity and CO2 utilization, but still suffers from large overvoltages. Recent studies have shown that integrating metal-oxide catalysts at the BPM junction i ...
