This study has demonstrated that microchanneled cathode supports of solid oxide electrolysis cells were developed to improve CO2 electrolysis performance. Through numerous channels embedded within the support, gas species can diffuse quickly to/from the reaction zone near the cathode/electrolyte interface, and efficient catalyst delivery to the reaction zone can also be achieved. The effect of channel size on CO2 electrolysis was investigated, and the smaller channel size results in the faster gas diffusion and the lower cell resistance. Therefore, this study reports a new strategy to improve CO2 electrolysis performance via refining the microchannel structure during a mesh-templating phase-inversion process.

固体氧化物电解槽微通道阴极载体上的CO 2电化学转化
这项研究表明,固体氧化物电解槽的微通道阴极载体已得到开发,以改善CO 2电解性能。通过嵌入载体中的许多通道,气体种类可以快速地扩散到阴极/电解质界面附近的反应区,或从中扩散出来,并且也可以实现催化剂向反应区的有效输送。研究了通道尺寸对CO 2电解的影响,通道尺寸越小,气体扩散越快,电池电阻越低。因此,本研究报告了一种新的策略,可通过在网孔模板相转化过程中细化微通道结构来提高CO 2电解性能。
