Pathways to enhance electrochemical CO2 reduction identified through direct pore-level modeling

Sophia Haussener, Shuo Liu, Etienne Boutin, Evan Fair Johnson

Electrochemical conversion of CO2 to fuels and valuable products is one pathway to reduce CO2 emissions. Electrolyzers using gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) show much higher current densities than aqueous phase electrolyzers, yet models for multi-physical ...
