Abstract

The invention relates to a gas diffusion electrode for electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide, which is composed of CO 2 Catalyst layer and gas diffusion layer composed of three components: capture agent, catalyst and binder, the CO 2 capture agent for CO 2 Capable of capturing and compatible with CO 2 coordinated materials. The gas diffusion electrode with this composition structure can achieve CO 2 The "capture" and "retention" functions increase the CO on the reaction interface 2 The concentration of the gas, which alleviates the problem of mass transfer polarization under high overpotential reaction conditions, is CO 2 The continuous and high-efficiency electroreduction reaction provides guarantee, which can significantly improve the CO 2 conversion rate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of carbon dioxide electrochemical reduction, in particular to a gas diffusion electrode and its preparation. Background technique [0002] Electrochemical reduction of CO 2 (ERC) technology is the use of electricity to convert CO 2 Reduction to various organic chemicals to achieve CO 2 A technology for resource utilization. with other COs 2 Compared with the conversion technology, the outstanding advantage of the ERC technology is that water can be used as the hydrogen source for the reaction, and CO can be realized at normal temperature and pressure. 2 High-efficiency conversion, so there is no need for energy consumption caused by hydrogen production, heating, and pressurization required by chemical conversion technology, and the investment in equipment is small. [0003] At present, the main factors restricting the development of ERC technology include: (1) high reaction overpotential; (2) low conver...
