Description
This project is focused on achieving high carbon efficiency, energy efficiency, C2H4 selectivity and productivity, and long-term stability. The CO2 electrolyzer will integrate CO2-to-C2H4 conversion and the downstream gas separation unit will effectively separate the regenerated and unreacted CO2, enabling CO2 recycling and ensuring a theoretical carbon efficiency of 100%. Development of a dual-recycle CO2 conversion system, anion exchange membrane, C2H4-selective CU catalyst and cathode, and extended surface anode will be implemented to achieve CO2 electrolysis with industrially relevant performance metrics. The success of the project will mark the first-ever demonstration of a CO2-to-C2H4 conversion platform capable of producing C2H4 as the sole product with a purity level of 99.9%. This achievement would be a significant milestone in the field of sustainable CO2 utilization.
