Tandem effect of Ag@C@Cu catalysts enhances ethanol selectivity for electrochemical CO2 reduction in flow reactors

Thi Ha My Pham, Andreas Züttel, Wen Luo, Jie Zhang, Mo Li, Youngdon Ko, Cedric David Koolen, Liping Zhong

CO-selective metals (e.g., Ag) on Cu catalysts improve the selec-tivity of multi-carbon (C2+) products in electrochemical CO2 reduc-tion. However, the origin of the improvement remains unclear due to the convolution of tandem and interface effects. Here, A ...

Crossover of liquid products from electrochemical CO2 reduction through gas diffusion electrode and anion exchange membrane

Andreas Züttel, Wen Luo, Jie Zhang

We reveal that a significant amount (>30%) of the liquid products from electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2RR) in a flow reactor can cross the gas diffusion electrode (GDE) and anion exchange membrane (AEM). Crossover of volatile products through the GDE occ ...

Electrochemical reconstruction of ZnO for selective reduction of CO2 to CO

Andreas Züttel, Kun Zhao, Wen Luo, Emanuele Moioli, Jie Zhang, Qin Zhang

Electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 to valuable chemicals is a highly promising route to close the carbon cycle. Herein, Zn catalysts derived from electrochemical reconstruction of ZnO materials are presented as efficient CO2-to-CO catalysts. We found that ...

On isothermality in some commonly used plug flow reactors for X-ray based investigations of catalysts

Dragos-Constantin Stoian, Mark Adrian Newton

We compare two reactor setups commonly used to make operando measurements of catalyst behavior using X-rays in terms of the degree to which they may be considered to yield radial and axial isothermality. We use axial and radial Cu K-edge XANES mapping of c ...

Mechanical energy budget and mixing efficiency for a radiatively heated ice-covered waterbody

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez

Ice-covered waterbodies are far from being quiescent systems. In this paper, we investigate ice-covered freshwater basins heated by solar radiation that penetrates across waters with temperatures below or near the temperature of maximum density. In this sc ...

Modifier adaptation with guaranteed feasibility in the presence of gradient uncertainty

Dominique Bonvin, Alejandro Gabriel Marchetti, Martand Singhal, Timm Faulwasser

In the context of real-time optimization, modifier-adaptation schemes use estimates of the plant gradients to achieve plant optimality despite plant-model mismatch. Plant feasibility is guaranteed upon convergence, but not at the successive operating point ...

Data Reconciliation for Reaction Systems Using Extents and Shape Constraints

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Sriniketh Srinivasan

Concentrations measured during the course of reactions are typically corrupted by random noise. Data reconciliation techniques improve the accuracy of measurements by using redundancies in the material and energy balances expressed as relationships between ...

Chemoselective three-phase hydrogenation of an Ombrabulin nitro-stilbene intermediate in a continuous-flow mobile platform

Lioubov Kiwi, Charline Berguerand

The chemoselective three-phase hydrogenation of an Ombrabulinintermediate based on a nitro-stilbene framework was used as a case study for the formation of the primary amine without affecting the double bond. Two catalysts were tested: Pt nanoparticles sup ...

On the Use of Transient Information for Static Real-Time Optimization

Dominique Bonvin, Grégory François, Alejandro Gabriel Marchetti

Optimal operation of chemical processes is key for meeting productivity, quality, safety and environmental objectives. Both model-based and data-driven schemes are used to compute optimal operating conditions [1]: - The model-based techniques are intu ...

Use of Transient Measurements for the Optimization of Steady-State Performance via Modifier Adaptation

Dominique Bonvin, Grégory François

Real-time optimization (RTO) methods use measurements to offset the effect of uncertainty and drive the plant to optimality. RTO schemes differ in the way measurements are incorporated in the optimization framework. Explicit RTO schemes solve a static opti ...

On the Use of Second-Order Modifiers for Real-Time Optimization

Dominique Bonvin, Timm Faulwasser

We consider the real-time optimization of static plants and propose a generalized version of the modifier-adaptation strategy that relies on second-order adaptation of the cost and constraint functions. We show that second-order adaptation allows checking ...

FH HES Optimization of Chemical Reactor Feed by Simulations Based on a Kinetic Approach

Thierry Meyer, Francis Stoessel, Charles Ibrahim Guinand

Chemical incidents are typically caused by loss of control, resulting in runaway reactions or process deviations in different stages of the production. In the case of fed-batch reactors, the problem generally encountered is the accumulation of heat. This i ...
