Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how the performance and stability of a zero-gap CO electrolyzer are affected by the properties of different anion exchange membranes (AEMs), specifically focusing on the Aemion and next-generation Aemion+ membranes.
- - Using a 10 mM KHCO solution with the Aemion+ membrane leads to lower cell voltages and enhances the longevity of the electrolyzer due to improved water permeability, achieving a cell voltage of 3.17 V at 200 mA cm and a faradaic efficiency of over 90%.
- - The research shows that while stability is maintained at lower current densities, higher current densities can reduce longevity unless the water transport characteristics of the membrane are improved and the cath
Spectroelectrochemical Detection of Water Dissociation in Bipolar Membranes.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces
September 2021
The potentials at which water dissociation occurs in bipolar membranes (BPM) and the relationship between water dissociation and current-voltage curve characteristics are explored using a novel spectroelectrochemical approach in which an anion exchange membrane is doped with a pH indicator. Using this method, we visually detect a pH change in the BPM resulting from OH formed during the water dissociation reaction. The color change is measured with a UV/vis spectrometer, while electrochemical characterization of the BPM is performed simultaneously.
