Sensitivity Analysis of One-Dimensional Multiphysics Simulation of CO₂ Electrolysis Cell.

ABSTRACT: Electrochemical (EC) carbon dioxide (CO₂) reduction, where CO₂ is converted to value-added products such as fuel precursors, plays a key role in helping the world's energy system reach net-zero carbon emissions. Simulations of EC cells provide valuable insight into their operation since detailed experimental results on short length and time scales are difficult to obtain. In this work, we construct a 1D simulation of a membrane-electrode-assembly EC cell for CO₂ reduction, using a porous silver gas diffusion cathode. We run the simulation under different electrolyte conditions, showing how the cell performance is affected. We then perform a sensitivity analysis of all input parameters to the simulation, which has not been presented before in the literature.
