摘要

Ethylene is particularly attractive due to its major importance as a feedstockfor various applications including the polymer industry. As such, catalyst andelectrolyzer developments are crucial to achieve industrially relevant ethyleneproduction and efficiency levels. Here, a tandem electrocatalyst composed ofcopper nanocubes and nickel-coordinated nitrogen-doped carbon (NiNC) ispresented, which is integrated into gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) for directconversion of vapor-fed CO_2 into ethylene. Evaluation of tandem GDEs in thevapor-fed flow electrolyzer shows significantly increased ethylene selectivityin terms of faradaic efficiency and C_2H_4/CO ratio compared to a non-tandemcopper GDE. The enhancements are attributed to the increased local COavailability near the copper surface via effective CO_2 to CO conversion onneighboring NiNC. The experimental results are validated by 3D resolvedcontinuum simulations, which show increased flux of higher-order productswith the added CO flux from NiNC. The practical viability of Cu/NiNCcatalyst is further evaluated in a membrane electrode assembly electrolyzer,achieving 40 FE toward ethylene at 150 mA cm~(?2) and 3.2 V. These findingshighlight the high selectivity and formation rate of ethylene achievedby successful device integration of the Cu/NiNC catalyst, demonstrating thepotential for implementation in large-scale sustainable CO_2 electrolyzers.
