Final Report: On-Site Electro-Synthesis of Potassium Formate from Recycled CO2

Abstract

The primary goal of the Phase I option was to modify the gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) yield improved performance in terms of Faradic Efficiency (FE) stability over time in preparation of the Phase II work. A variety of experiments were designed and executed to do this including methods to reduce GDE wetting, increase GDE hydrophobicity via hydrophobic additives to the catalyst ink, adding a Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL), and changing the reactor hydrodynamic design.
