Project description
Automated modular system for scalable CO2 electrosynthesis
While CO2 electrosynthesis using renewable energy is able to generate useful chemicals such as green ethylene, the reactions are challenging to manage, especially at an atomic scale. Both the reactant and the product are gases that create solubility barriers and strong fluctuations owing to the formation of bubbles. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the TEAMS project aims to address this challenge by developing a scalable self-driven electrosynthesis system at a nano-macroscopic scale. The system’s modular architecture will include a nanobubble generator to ensure gas availability, an interface reaction module for improved selectivity and a feedback optimisation module for dynamic system adjustments.
Objective
Electrosynthesis, powered by renewable energy, has the potential to remap existing industries like energy, transport, and manufacturing, by generating clean fuels and chemicals. Examples include water electrolysis to produce green hydrogen and the emerging CO2 electrolysis to synthesize important carbon chemicals such as ethylene. One challenge in these reactions is reactant and product management – gas, both as a reactant and product, brings solubility barriers (e.g. limited solubility of CO2) and strong fluctuations due to the formation of bubbles (H2 in the cathode, and O2 in the anode). Inefficient reactant supply and complex interfacial phenomena are often addressed in these systems at the atomic scale and in a static fashion (i.e. catalyst and environment design). TEAMS (MuTi-modulE smArt systeM for selective electroSynthesis) seeks to address this problem through the nano-macroscopic scale and in a dynamic way. It proposed to do so by integrating three key modules in a modular and smart, self-driven architecture: a nanobubble generator to increase gas availability, an interface reaction module to enhance efficiency and selectivity, and a feedback optimization module for continuous real-time system adjustments. TEAMS targets the application of this system into two reactions limited by gas availability and interface bubble formation, such as CO2 electrolysis into ethylene (cathode) and ethylene oxidation into ethylene oxide (anode). By combining nanobubble engineering, fluid dynamics, and electrochemical methodologies, TEAMS aims to create a next-generation, scalable, and automated electrosynthesis system.
