摘要

Cell designs that integrate membrane-electrode assemblies (MEAs) with highly selective catalysts are a promising route to reduce ohmic losses and achieve high energy efficiency in CO_(2) reduction at industrially relevant current densities. In this work, porous silver filtration membranes are demonstrated as simple and efficient gas-diffusion electrodes for CO_(2) reduction to CO at high current densities in an MEA-type device. A partial current density for CO of up to ca. 200 mA cm~(–2) was achieved at a cell voltage of ca. 3.3 V, in tandem with minimal H_(2) production. However, the analysis of cathodic and anodic outlet streams revealed that CO_(2) cross-over across the anion-exchange membranes, mostly in the form of CO_(3)~(2–) but partially as HCOO~(–) generated over the cathode, actually exceeds the amount of CO_(2) converted to the target product, resulting in a poor utilization of the reactant and in the early onset of mass transfer limitations. In addition, CO_(2) cross-over leads to a nonstoichiometric decrease of the outlet flow rate from the cathodic compartment. This effect can lead to a substantial overestimation of catalytic performance if the inlet flow rate of CO_(2) is used as reference for calculating partial current densities and Faradaic efficiencies. The results of this work highlight the importance of carrying out a carbon balance, in addition to traditional measurements of activity and selectivity, to adequately assess the performance of CO_(2) reduction devices at high current densities, and inform future efforts aimed at mitigating membrane cross-over in MEA-type electrolyzers for CO_(2) reduction.
