Bipolar membrane electrolyzers enable high single-pass CO2 electroreduction to multicarbon products
Open accessAbstract
In alkaline and neutral MEA CO 2 electrolyzers, CO 2 rapidly converts to (bi)carbonate, imposing a significant energy penalty arising from separating CO 2 from the anode gas outlets. Here we report a CO 2 electrolyzer uses a bipolar membrane (BPM) to convert (bi)carbonate back to CO 2, preventing crossover; and that surpasses the single-pass utilization (SPU) limit (25% for multi-carbon products, C 2+) suffered by previous neutral-media electrolyzers. We employ a stationary unbuffered catholyte layer between BPM and cathode to promote C 2+ products while ensuring that (bi)carbonate is converted back, in situ, to CO 2 near the cathode. We develop a model that enables the design of the catholyte layer, finding that limiting the diffusion path length of reverted CO 2 to ~10 μm balances the CO 2 diffusion flux with the regeneration rate. We report a single-pass CO 2 utilization of 78%, which lowers the energy associated with downstream separation of CO 2 by 10× compared with past systems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
