@article{10902/19205, year = {2020}, month = {9}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/19205}, abstract = {The use of bismuth-based catalysts is promising for formate production by the electroreduction of CO2 captured from waste streams. However, compared to the extensive research on catalysts, only a few studies have focused on electrochemical reactor performance. Hence, this work studied a continuous-mode gas-liquid-solid reaction system for investigating CO2 electroreduction to formate using Bi-catalyst-coated membrane electrodes as cathodes. The experimental setup was designed to analyze products obtained in both liquid and gas phases. The influence of relevant variables (e.g., temperature and input water flow) was analyzed, with the thickness of the liquid film formed over the cathode surface being a key parameter affecting system performance. Promising results, including a high formate concentration of 34 g/L with faradaic efficiency for formate of 72%, were achieved.}, organization = {Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MINECO) through the projects, Grant/Award Numbers: CTQ2016‐76231‐C2‐1‐R, CTQ2016‐76231‐C2‐2‐R (AEI/FEDER, UE).; Vicerrectorado de Investigación y Transferencia de Conocimiento (VITC) of the; University of Alicante, Grant/Award Number: (UTALENTO16‐02).}, publisher = {American Institute of Chemical Engineers}, publisher = {AIChE Journal, 2020, 66(9), e16299}, title = {Gas-liquid-solid reaction system for CO2 electroreduction to formate without using supporting electrolyte}, author = {Díaz Sainz, Guillermo and Álvarez Guerra, Manuel and Solla Gullón, José and García Cruz, Leticia and Montiel Leguey, Vicente and Irabien Gulías, Ángel}, }
