Abstract
The disclosure discloses a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) for electrochemically converting carbon monoxide (CO) into ethylene (CH) under applied current density, the MEA comprising: a cathode; an anode; an anion-exchange membrane (AEM) to separate the cathode from the anode; an anolyte; a reactant inlet in fluid communication with the cathode to provide a CO-enriched gas component; and a product outlet in fluid communication with the cathode to release a product mixture comprising CH; wherein the cathode comprises: a first layer including adsorption sites to adsorb CO as CO* intermediates; a second layer that facilitates stabilization of the CO* intermediates for adsorption onto the adsorption sites of the first layer; and a third layer that facilitates diffusion of CO to the adsorption sites of the first layer.
