Abstract The development of a comprehensive renewable energy industrial chain becomes urgent since renewable energy will soon dominate the power generation. Among the industries, carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR), which uses energy to convert carbon dioxide into high-value products and reduce CO2 in the atmosphere, is regarded as a promising and potential industrial application. The conventional H-type reactor shows limited catalytic activity toward CO2RR, leading to the incompatible combination with the massive renewable energy. The flow systems – flow-cell reactor and the membrane electrode assemblies – show the promising selectivity and activities of CO2RR products, meeting the criteria for industrial mass production. In this Perspective, I start by comparing the market price and annual global production of major CO2RR products with the necessary costs using technoeconomic analysis for industrial utilization. Subsequently, I systematically summarize the catalytic performances of the same copper catalyst in these reactors for CO2RR and discuss the possibility of industrialization. Owing to the distinctive catalytic behaviors in flow systems, I finally present prospects to investigate the catalytic mechanisms by developing various in-situ techniques in these flow systems to speed up the renewable energy industry.

电化学流动系统使能CO2减排的可再生能源产业链

摘要 可再生能源将主导发电,发展综合性可再生能源产业链迫在眉睫。在行业中,利用能源将二氧化碳转化为高价值产品并减少大气中二氧化碳的二氧化碳还原反应(CO2RR)被认为是一种很有前景和潜力的工业应用。传统的H型反应器对CO2RR的催化活性有限,导致与大量可再生能源不相容。流动系统——流通池反应器和膜电极组件——显示出 CO2RR 产品的选择性和活性,满足工业大规模生产的标准。在这个视角下,我首先使用工业利用的技术经济分析将主要 CO2RR 产品的市场价格和年度全球产量与必要的成本进行比较。随后,我系统总结了相同铜催化剂在这些反应器中对 CO2RR 的催化性能,并讨论了工业化的可能性。由于流动系统中独特的催化行为,我最终提出了通过在这些流动系统中开发各种原位技术来研究催化机制以加速可再生能源产业的前景。
