Yang, K. (author), Li, Mengran (author), Subramanian, S.S. (author), Blommaert, M.A. (author), Smith, W.A. (author), Burdyny, T.E. (author)Advancing reaction rates for electrochemical CO2 reduction in membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) have boosted the promise of the technology while exposing new shortcomings. Among these is the maximum utilization of CO2, which is capped at 50% (CO as targeted product) due to unwanted homogeneous reactions. Using bipolar membranes in an MEA ...journal article 2021

Blommaert, M.A. (author), Aili, David (author), Tufa, Ramato Ashu (author), Li, Qingfeng (author), Smith, W.A. (author), Vermaas, D.A. (author)Bipolar membranes (BPMs) are gaining interest in energy conversion technologies. These membranes are composed of cation- and anion-exchange layers, with an interfacial layer in between. This gives the freedom to operate in different conditions (pH, concentration, composition) at both sides. Such membranes are used in two operational modes,...review 2021

Bohra, D. (author), Ledezma Yanez, I.D. (author), Li, G. (author), de Jong, W. (author), Pidko, E.A. (author), Smith, W.A. (author)Ag is a promising catalyst for the production of carbon monoxide (CO) via the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>ER). Herein, we study the role of the formate (HCOO<sup>−</sup>) intermediate *OCHO, aiming to resolve the discrepancy between the theoretical understanding and experimental performance of Ag. We show that...journal article 2019
