A monolithic electropromoted reactor (MEPR) with up to 22 thin Rh/YSZ/Pt or Cu/TiO 2 /YSZ/Au plate cells was used to investigate the hydrogenation of CO 2 at atmospheric pressure and temperatures 220–380 °C. The Rh/YSZ/Pt cells lead to CO and CH 4 formation and the open-circuit selectivity to CH 4 is less than 5%. Both positive and negative applied potentials enhance significantly the total hydrogenation rate but the selectivity to CH 4 remains below 12%. The Cu/TiO 2 /YSZ/Au cells produce CO, CH 4 and C 2 H 4 with selectivities to CH 4 and C 2 H 4 up to 80% and 2%. Both positive and negative applied potential significantly enhance the hydrogenation rate and the selectivity to C 2 H 4 . It was found that the addition of small (∼0.5 kPa) amounts of CH 3 OH in the feed has a pronounced promotional effect on the reaction rate and selectivity of the Cu/TiO 2 /YSZ/Au cells. The selective reduction of CO 2 to CH 4 starts at 220 °C (vs 320 °C in absence of CH 3 OH) with near 100% CH 4 selectivity at open-circuit and under polarization conditions at temperatures 220–380 °C. The results show the possibility of direct CO 2 conversion to useful products in a MEPR via electrochemical promotion at atmospheric pressure. |
