Problems solved by technology

For hydrogen production from total water splitting, it is necessary to desorb the generated hydrogen bubbles in time to avoid occupying active sites and forming a catalytic dead zone; for the reduction of carbon dioxide, the stable existence of the three-phase interface has a great influence on the selectivity of carbon dioxide reduction products. The adsorption of carbon dioxide or water molecules on the active site determines the types of different reduction products. However, the low solubility of carbon dioxide in neutral water (0.034mol / L) and the carbonic acid, bicarbonate, carbonate, etc. The characteristics of dynamic equilibrium of chemically reduced species greatly limit the selectivity of carbon dioxide reduction products, and because the cathode reduction reaction inevitably has side reactions that consume protons to generate hydrogen, the pH of the cathode catalyst surface increases, which further leads to CO 2 drop in effective concentration

Abstract

The invention discloses a micro-electrochemical reactor based on microfluidic technology, comprising: a cathode assembly; an anode assembly, the anode assembly and the cathode assembly face each other; and an insulating member, the cathode assembly and the cathode assembly The anode components are isolated by the insulating member; wherein, flow channels are respectively formed in the anode component and the cathode component, and the flow channels are respectively connected with the inlet flow channel and the discharge flow channel; When the cathode assemblies face each other, the flow channels overlap each other; wherein, the flow channels are separated by proton exchange membranes. Compared with the traditional H-type electrolytic cell, the internal resistance of the reactor of the present invention is greatly reduced, and the lower ohmic loss provides a better choice for realizing the application of industrial-grade current-type electrochemical catalysis.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electrochemical reaction, and in particular relates to a micro-electrochemical reactor based on microfluidic technology. Background technique [0002] High energy conversion efficiency, high energy conversion rate, and high Faradaic efficiency selectivity to target products have always been the industry goals in the field of electrochemical catalysis to guide the advancement and development of the scientific field. In order to achieve these three important indicators, the electrochemical reactor plays a very important role in it. Under the premise of selecting a better catalyst to achieve high Faradaic efficiency selectivity to the target product, high energy conversion efficiency corresponds to lower internal resistance of the electrochemical system, and high energy conversion rate corresponds to higher catalytic current density. The two complement each other. At the same time, in addition to selecting...
