(author), Moultos, O. (author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author), Ramdin, M. (author)We performed H-cell and flow cell experiments to study the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to oxalic acid (OA) on a lead (Pb) cathode in various nonaqueous solvents. The effects of anolyte, catholyte, supporting electrolyte, temperature, water content, and cathode potential on the Faraday efficiency (FE), current density (CD), and product...journal article 2022

(author), Ramdin, M. (author)Formic acid (FA) is an interesting hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) carrier that can be produced by the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) using renewable energy. The separation of FA from water is challenging due to the strong (cross)association of the components and the presence of a high boiling azeotrope. For the...journal article 2021

(author)We use a high-pressure semicontinuous batch electrochemical reactor with a tin-based cathode to demonstrate that it is possible to efficiently convert CO<sub>2</sub> to formic acid (FA) in low-pH (i.e., pH < pK<sub>a</sub>) electrolyte solutions. The effects of CO<sub>2</sub> pressure (up to 50 bar), bipolar membranes, and electrolyte (K...journal article 2019
