Popis: Reducing carbon emissions to mitigate the severity of climate change is at the forefront of sustainability- and is a popular topic for electrochemical laboratories around the world. The fields of CO2 electrolysis and hydrogen evolution provided over 500,000 publications in 2022 alone, but the number of laboratories able to conduct research in these fields is limited by experimental price. The primary piece of equipment for CO2 electrolysis and hydrogen evolution is a metallic flow cell, commercially available for $6,050. To increase research accessibility in the field of electrochemistry, we provide a 3D-printable flow cell for ~22.1% the market price. This model offers a customizable alternative to commercially available flow cells, providing researchers with more control over their experiments. By offering a low-cost alternative to metallic flow cells, the field of sustainable electrochemistry is available to new laboratories.
