Abstract
Methods and systems for electrochemically producing at least one product are disclosed. In some embodiments, the systems include a membraneless electrochemical flow-through reactor. A pair of porous electrodes configured at an angle to each other is disposed within the reactor in a channel of flowing electrolyte including a target reactant. As the electrolyte stream flows through the porous electrodes, a voltage is applied across the electrodes, resulting in the generation of a catholyte effluent stream and an anolyte effluent stream Gaseous and/or liquid products may then be separated from these streams. The membraneless electrochemical flow-through reactor is an easy to design and assemble apparatus for a variety of electrochemical processes.
