Reactor with advanced architecture for the electrochemical reaction of CO2, CO, and other chemical compounds

Patent · 21 September 2021

OSTI ID:1840470

Kuhl, Kendra P.; Cave, Etosha R.; Leonard, George

A platform technology that uses a novel membrane electrode assembly including a cathode layer comprising a reduction catalyst and a first anion-and-cation-conducting polymer, an anode layer comprising an oxidation catalyst and a cation-conducting polymer, a membrane layer comprising a cation-conducting polymer, the membrane layer arranged between the cathode layer and the anode layer and conductively connecting the cathode layer and the anode layer, in a COx reduction reactor has been developed. The reactor can be used to synthesize a broad range of carbon-based compounds from carbon dioxide.
