Product Description
In the ongoing development of electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction (CO2RR) technology, researchers have discovered that by using a gas diffusion electrode (GDE) with a flowing catholyte, it is possible to evaluate the electrocatalytic performance of these catalysts regardless of mass transfer limitations and local pH effects. That is, a so-called flow electrolytic cell is constructed to replace the static H-type electrolytic cell in the traditional sense.
In the flow electrolysis cell, CO2 enters the cathode of the electrolysis cell from the back of the gas diffusion layer, and reacts with H+ from the electrolyte in the cathode catalytic layer to be reduced, and the reduction product is discharged from the electrolysis cell through the gas diffusion layer.
The flow electrolysis cell can not only alleviate the mass transfer polarization caused by the low solubility of CO2 in water, but also suppress the hydrogen evolution side reaction due to the use of a flowing electrolyte, and reduce the CO2 activation energy barrier and enhance the CC coupling between *CO, thereby increasing the selectivity of the C2 product.Continuous reaction can bring the advantage of no backflow of materials, so that the product can not be over oxidated and reduced, and the product yield can be improved.
Characteristic:
1. Compared with the usual H-type electrolytic cell, the liquid flow electrolytic cell has more advantages in liquid phase mass transfer kinetics.
2. Directly supply CO2 gas to the cathode, which overcomes the disadvantages of low solubility and slow diffusion of CO2 gas in aqueous solution.
3.The thickness of the electrode plate can be customized according to the needs, which can effectively shorten the distance between the anode and the anode, reduce the resistance, and improve the test efficiency.
Parameter:
1.The main body of the flow cell is made of PEEK material, which is made by meticulous crafting.
2.The designed working area of the flow cell is 4cm2, which is square 20*20mm. Other areas can also be customized according to user requirements.
3.Chamber A is used for air inlet and outlet, and its outer size is 60*60*19mm. The flow channel adopts the S-shaped flow channel, which can make the CO2 flow in along the S-shaped direction next to the GDE, and then output from the end of the flow channel to the online chromatographic detection and analysis. When the entire device is assembled, tighten the four fixing rods to achieve the GDE and S-shaped runners close to each other and achieve a sealing effect.
4.Chamber B is used as a catholyte cell, and its outer size is 60*60*10mm. The catholyte is circulated through a peristaltic pump. A φ4mm reference electrode is placed on the top of the chamber. When the electrolyte is an alkaline solution, the user can choose to buy a reduced diameter salt bridge φ6mm to φ4mm, and use it with DekResearch's φ6mm mercury oxide reference electrode.
5.Chamber C is used as an anolyte cell, and its outer size is 60*60*10mm. Considering that the anode material produces more oxygen, when the anolyte is also circulated through the peristaltic pump, the holes 5 and 6 are used as the anolyte inlet and outlet. At this time, use a solid sealing screw to block the hole 7. Alternatively, the hole 7 can be used as a circulation outlet hole, and the hole 6 can be blocked with a sealing screw. When the anolyte is not circulating, use solid sealing screws to block both holes 5 and 6, and open hole 7 for exhaust.
6.Chamber D is used as a fixed plate, and the outer size is 60*60*19mm.
7.When the anode uses foamed nickel material, the anode can be clamped between the chambers C and D. It can also be clamped between the ion membrane and the chamber C, which can further shorten the distance between the cathode and the anode and reduce the internal resistance.
8.The conductive current collector equipped with this device is a copper foil with adhesive backing. Its thickness is 65um, which not only has good conductivity, but the thickness does not affect the sealing of the entire device. Users can also replace the appropriate conductive current collector according to their needs.
9.There are two types of gaskets: silicone gasket and fluorine rubber gasket, and the thickness is 1mm. It should be noted that when foamed nickel is used for the anode, considering the structure of the foamed nickel material, we designed a gasket with the same thickness as the foamed nickel, and the foamed nickel material is built into the gasket. When the entire device is tightened At this time, the anode foam nickel can be sealed from the thickness to prevent leakage. Therefore, we recommend that the anode choose a foamed nickel material with a thickness of 1mm.
10.The flow cell can be quickly assembled and disassembled, and it is easy to clean.
