  • GAS DIFFUSION LAYER FOR ELECTROCHEMICALLY CONVERTING GAS
    Publication number: 20230374676
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a process for electrochemically converting a reactant gas, to an electrolyser, to a gas diffusion electrode, to a method for producing a gas diffusion electrode, to a gas diffusion layer, and to the use of said gas diffusion layer and/or gas diffusion electrode. The process comprises reacting a reactant gas at a gas diffusion electrode to form a product gas and/or a liquid product, wherein the gas diffusion electrode comprises a gas diffusion layer comprising a non-porous layer that is permeable to carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide gas, and a porous layer, and the reactant gas comprises carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide.

  • Method for Electrochemical Production of a Product in a Cell Comprising a Polyelectrolyte
    Publication number: 20230235465
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for electrochemical production of a product in an electrochemical cell comprising an extraction compartment. The extraction compartment comprises a liquid comprising a dissolved polyelectrolyte. The method comprises producing cations at an anode, producing anions at a cathode and transporting the ions through ion- selective membranes into the extraction compartment where the product is formed. The invention further relates to an electrochemical cell for use in the method.
