Electrocatalytic CO 2 Reduction to C 2+ Products in Flow Cells

Abstract Electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction into value‐added fuels and chemicals by renewable electric energy is one of the important strategies to address global energy shortage and carbon emission. Though the classical H‐type electrolytic cell can quickly screen high‐efficiency catalysts, the low current density and limited CO 2 mass transfer process essentially impede its industrial applications. The electrolytic cells based on electrolyte flow system (flow cells) have shown great potential for industrial devices, due to higher current density, improved local CO 2 concentration, and better mass transfer efficiency. The design and optimization of flow cells are of great significance to further accelerate the…
