  • ELECTROCHEMICAL REACTOR AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING FUEL GAS
    Publication number: 20150167186
    Abstract: Electrons are introduced to a cathode (1) side of a cell (10) to promote the reduction of carbon dioxide. On the other hand, the oxidation of methane is promoted in an anode (2) side by an oxide ion transported via a porous GDC electrolyte (3). When carbon monoxide and an oxide ion are generated, they are transported to the anode (2) together with methane gas to generate carbon monoxide and hydrogen. In addition, Cu and an oxide ion are reacted in the anode (2) to promote the oxidation of methane gas.
