Electrochemical Flow Reactors: Mass Transport, iR Drop, and Membrane-Free Performance with In-Line Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Continuous flow reactors are promising for electrochemical conversions, in large part due to the potentially rapid refreshment of reagents over the electrode surface. Microfluidic reactors enable a high degree of control over the fluid flow. Diffusion to and from the electrode and electrode area determine the efficiency of electrochemical conversion. The effective electrode area is limited by the loss in electrode potential due to iR drop, and further electrode length (and hence area) is limited due to ineffective mass transport to and from the electrode. Here, we report on a microfluidic electrochemical device with large (long) area electrodes running in parallel, which both minimizes the iR drop and ensures a constant electrode potential along the whole length of the electrodes.
