The practical implementation of electrochemical CO2 reduction technology is greatly challenged by notable CO2 crossover to the anode side, where the crossed-over CO2 is mixed with O2, via interfacial carbonate formation in traditional CO2 electrolysers. Here we report a porous solid electrolyte reactor strategy to efficiently recover these carbon losses. By creating a permeable and ion-conducting sulfonated polymer electrolyte between cathode and anode as a buffer layer, the crossover carbonate can combine with protons generated from the anode to re-form CO2 gas for reuse without mixing with anodic O2. Using a silver nanowire catalyst for CO2 reduction to CO, we demonstrated up to 90% recovery of the crossover CO2 in an ultrahigh gas purity form (>99%), while delivering over 90% CO Faradaic efficiency under a 200 mA cm2 current. A high continuous CO2 conversion efficiency of over 90% was achieved by recycling the recovered CO2 to the CO2 input stream.

使用固体电解质反应器恢复 CO2 电解中的碳损失

电化学CO 2还原技术的实际实施受到显着的CO 2交叉到阳极侧的巨大挑战,其中交叉的CO 2通过传统CO 2电解槽中的界面碳酸盐形成与O 2混合。在这里,我们报告了一种多孔固体电解质反应器策略来有效地恢复这些碳损失。通过在阴极和阳极之间形成可渗透的离子导电磺化聚合物电解质作为缓冲层,交叉碳酸盐可以与阳极产生的质子结合,重新形成 CO 2气体以供重复使用,而无需与阳极 O 2混合。使用银纳米线催化剂制备 CO 2还原为 CO,我们展示了高达 90% 的超高纯度气体 (>99%) 的交叉 CO 2回收率,同时在 200 mA cm - 2电流下提供超过 90% 的 CO 法拉第效率。通过将回收的 CO 2循环到 CO 2输入流中,实现了超过 90%的高连续 CO 2转化效率。
