High-Capacity and High-Stability Electrochemical CO2 Capture Cell with Coupled Electricity Storage

“…The compatibility of 1,8-ESP with CO2 is also vital to the system lifetime as it has been reported that a significant number of molecules can bind with CO2 and precipitate out from the solution 44 or enhance molecular decomposition. 45 The operational stability of the 1,8-ESP carbon capture system was investigated with capture-release cycles with pure CO2 (99.9%) as the feed gas (Figure 6d). During 220 cycles over 18 days, the voltage profiles reflecting the continuous CO2 capture and release processes exhibited high reproducibility.…”

Highly Efficient Electrocarboxylation Method to Synthesize Novel Acid Derivatives of 1,4-Dihydropyridines and to Study Their Antimicrobial Activity

“…The electrochemical synthesis of 9a – k from the dibromo series 8a – k in a constant current of CO 2 follows the protocol illustrated in Scheme . An extensive literature survey and our previous work helped us establish the optimum conditions (selecting the electrode material, supporting electrolyte, temperature, pressure, and suitable solvent) to set up the experiment. − Several factors play a significant role in product selectivity and better yield, for instance, the reaction was conducted with n -butanol, n -pentanol, and acetonitrile as solvent, as acetonitrile is a stronger proton donor that produced better yield in the process. Tetrapropyl ammonium bromide (TPAB), tetrapropyl ammonium chloride (TPAC), and trabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBABF 4 ) as an ionic solvent were tested, and TPAC in combination with acetonitrile exhibited higher efficiency.…”
