Journal ArticleDOI
In Situ Infrared Spectroscopy Reveals Persistent Alkalinity near Electrode Surfaces during CO2 Electroreduction.
TL;DR: It is explicitly shown that commonly used strong phosphate buffers cannot sustain the interfacial pH during CO2 electroreduction on copper electrodes at relatively low current densities, <10 mA/cm2, by using in situ surface enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) and computational modeling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of the Carbon-Based Gas Diffusion Layer on Flooding in a Gas Diffusion Electrode Cell for Electrochemical CO 2 Reduction
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of carbon gas diffusion layers (GDLs) in the advent of flooding during CO2 reduction was investigated, finding that applied potential plays a central role in the observed instabilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrochemical CO2 reduction on nanostructured metal electrodes: fact or defect?
TL;DR: It is highlighted that nanostructured silver electrodes exhibit considerably higher activity when normalized to the electrochemically active surface in contrast to gold and copper electrodes, and discussion on how active surface area and thickness of the catalytic layer itself can influence the onset potential, selectivity, stability, activity and mass transfer inside and outside of the three dimensional catalyst layer.

Along the Channel Gradients Impact on the Spatioactivity of Gas Diffusion Electrodes at High Conversions during CO2 Electroreduction
Recep Kas,Recep Kas,Andrew G. Star,Kailun Yang,Tim Van Cleve,Kenneth C. Neyerlin,Wilson A. Smith +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 2D transport model for a gas diffusion electrode performing CO₂ reduction to CO with a flowing catholyte is presented, including the concentration gradients along the flow cell, spatial distribution of the current density and local pH in the catalyst layer.
