Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of carbon dioxide electrolysis, and particularly relates to a large-sized electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reactor with reverse flow on both sides of the anode and cathode. Background Art

[0002] To address climate change, electrocatalytically reducing carbon dioxide into fuels such as carbon monoxide, methanol, and formic acid is a promising solution. It can achieve the resource utilization of carbon dioxide and the effective storage of clean energy electricity, greatly improve the accommodation capacity of new energy power generation systems such as solar and wind energy, and realize a green carbon cycle.

[0003] The catalytic conversion technologies of carbon dioxide include photocatalysis, thermocatalysis, enzyme catalysis, plasma catalysis, and electrocatalysis. Among them, the conversion efficiency of photocatalysis is too low; thermocatalysis requires harsh conditions of high temperature and high pressure and has low selectivity for specific target products; enzyme catalysis has high requirements for the microenvironment of the reaction and the cost of the required coenzymes is also high; although plasma catalysis can achieve a high conversion rate, its energy efficiency is very low; electrocatalytic carbon dioxide can be carried out in an aqueous solution at room temperature and normal pressure, does not require a complex reaction device, and can use renewable electric energy to realize the reduction process of carbon dioxide under mild conditions, showing its unique technical advantages and being conducive to large-scale practical applications.

[0004] Currently, most electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reactors are in the laboratory stage and use a simple electrolysis structure formed by a single anode and cathode plate, with small size, low efficiency and output, and it is difficult to be promoted to large-scale industrial applications; moreover, when the space between the anode and cathode plates is filled with a flowing mixture of water and carbon dioxide, the relatively large spacing has a certain impact on the actual electrolysis efficiency.
