CO2 Conversion to value-added product

Overcoming challenges in electrochemical CO2 reduction, a micro-structured reactor is being developed to achieve high current densities (>250 mA/cm2) and maximize energy efficiency. The team's novel electrode has demonstrated the production of 10,000 ppm of formic acid in 12 hours with low energy consumption. Ongoing efforts focus on optimizing electrode structures and catalysts under elevated temperature and pressure for performance beyond the current state-of-the-art. Additionally, a novel continuous cell design is underway, considering feed type to impact the overall cost-effectiveness of CO2 electrochemical reduction.
