Enhanced Mass Transport in Electrochemical Systems for Renewable Fuels and Clean Water
To meet the growing demand for green energy carriers and clean water for the next decades, we can use the increasing supply of harvested solar and wind energy to synthesize fuels (hydrogen, syngas, ammonia, etc.) and clean water via electrochemical methods. Electrochemical methods have the advantage of single-step, energy-efficient and low-temperature conversion of chemicals. However, despite developments in electrocatalysts and system design in the past decade, none of the electrochemical methods has grown to a market-leading technology in the energy or water sector because of limitations in process intensification. A boost in electrical current density, without sacrificing energy…
