Method of operating a liquid gas electrochemical cell
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5341142
The invention includes in its scope a method for electrochemically reacting a liquid with a gas in an electrochemical cell of the type having at least two electrodes separated by a liquid permeable separator. At least one of said electrodes is in physical contact with the separator and is porous and self-draining. A gas is flowed into at least a portion of the pores of the self-draining electrode and a liquid is controllably flowed through the separator and into the self-draining electrode at a rate about equal to the drainage rate of the electrode and in a quantity sufficient to fill only a portion of the electrode pores. The liquid and the gas are electrochemically reacted to form at least one nonvolatile product. Thereafter, the products of the electrochemical reaction are removed from said self-draining electrode.
