Electrochemical CO2 reduction aims to compete with Power-to-X alternatives but is well behind the scales of water electrolyzers and thermochemical reactors. In a recent issue of Nature Chemical Engineering, Crandall and co-workers demonstrate a 1000 cm2 tandem CO2/CO electrolyzer for acetate production. The work invites discussion on scientific and engineering scale-up challenges.

CO2 和 CO 电解槽的放大


电化学二氧化碳减排旨在与 Power-to-X 替代方案竞争，但远远落后于水电解槽和热化学反应器的规模。在最近一期《自然化学工程》中，Crandall 及其同事展示了用于生产乙酸盐的 1000 cm2 串联 CO2/CO 电解槽。这项工作邀请人们讨论科学和工程规模扩大的挑战。
