  • CO2RR CO2 reduction reaction
  • CO2RR has many beneficial aspects.
  • One aspect involves the clean generation of reaction products, such as hydrocarbons, alcohols, H2 and/or CO, that then can be used to feed any of a variety of industrial, commercial, individual or common inputs such as factories, gas turbines, equipment, vehicles, etc., as well as repositories and other storage mediums, as well as ambient or polluted air.
  • Another aspect involves the consumption or destruction of greenhouse gas CO2, such as from CO2 emitting industrial, commercial, individual or common sources such as factories, gas turbines, equipment, vehicles, etc., as well as repositories and other storage mediums, as well as ambient or polluted air.
  • Yet another aspect involves integration of CO2RR with renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, etc., whereby the renewable energy sources provide the requisite electricity or E o to initiate or sustain the CO2RR.
  • Still another aspect involves combinations of two or more the above aspects, such as consuming CO2 flue gas from a factory source while sustaining the CO2RR from electricity generated from solar panels on the factory roof and then storing or feeding the produced value-added reaction product, such as ethene or higher order hydrocarbons, for a desired use.
  • CO2RR, electrochemical cell and operation mode problems may include CO2 reaction inefficiency and instability overtime. Some efforts to overcome these problems involve modifying the catalyst surface such that the CO2 and its intermediary reactants are more strongly bounded on the catalyst. Other efforts to overcome these problems involve modifying the cathode to optimize gas diffusivity, porosity, thickness, hydrophilicity, electrical conductivity, ionic conductivity, wettability, etc. However, there remains a need for an improved CO2RR, electrochemical cell and/or operation mode and a particular need for an easily implemented, inexpensive and industrial scalable improved CO2RR, electrochemical cell, and/or operation mode.
