Published purpose
The Project is designed to accelerate the development of a reactor (a “bicarbonate electrolyser”) that converts CO2 capture solutions into methane, a valuable commodity chemical. The Project team will expand upon an existing self-driving lab at UBC to make and test electrolyser components faster than is possible manually. The overarching Project goal is to use data produced with this self-driving lab, coupled with a multiphysics model created with the NRC, to demonstrate methane production in a bicarbonate electrolyser with a partial current density (jCH4) of >200 mA/cm2 (e.g., 50% selectivity for methane at a total current density of 400 mA/cm2).
