Abstract
Electrolyzers have been refined to reach a minimized gap between the electrodes, exemplified by the ''zero gap'' membrane electrode assembly in water electrolyzers. This Comment discusses the porous solid electrolyte reactor, where this gap is re-opened to fully leverage ionic transport for broader applications beyond molecular transformations in electrolysis.
