Production of chemical products using electrochemical flow systems and slug flow and associated methods

Patent · 31 January 2022

OSTI ID:1892578

Voskian, Sahag; Murray, Alexander; Hatton, Trevor Alan; Surendranath, Yogesh

Systems and methods for electrochemically producing chemical products are provided. In certain cases, the systems and methods described herein are capable of producing chemical products such as hydrogen peroxide in solutions with relatively low concentrations of electrolyte or other dissolved species at high efficiencies and/or low energetic cost. In some cases, redox mediators are used to temporally decouple direct electrochemical processes from the production of the chemical product.
