Research abstract
Solar fuels production is necessary for the future of the global economy. To produce solar fuels from CO2, a highly conductive and stable polymer-electrolyte is needed for this demanding application. A promising class of polymer-electrolytes for electrochemical energy applications has been developed, and this project’s goal is to scale-up production, add quality controls, and reduce waste. The new polymer-electrolyte will be incorporated into a CO2 electrolyzer in order to demonstrate increased performance and reduced costs in a large area electrode that could form the basis of a multi-megawatt installation in the future.
