In this work, we present a reaction concept to produce and elongate linear carbon chains of defined carbon numbers selectively using synthesis gas as a renewable C1 source. This is achieved via a three-step reaction cycle consisting of alcohol dehydration, C═C bond hydroformylation, and C═O hydrogenation of the intermediate aldehydes, thus restoring the alcohol function after each C1-elongation. In a proof-of-principle study, the dehydration was catalyzed by phosphoric acid, Rh/Biphephos was used for the hydroformylation, and Ru/C was used for the hydrogenation step. Each of the catalyst systems applied in the process was recycled effectively, allowing stepwise C1-elongation. An extension of a C<sub>6</sub> chain up to C<sub>10</sub> was achieved over four cycles involving 12 individual catalytic reactions, and the effects of repeating such a cycle multiple times on the reactions and product mixtures were investigated.

This study innovatively reconstructs the cathode liquid cooling channels of a hydrogen-air PEMFC to create an in-plane TD, experimentally investigating various designs across different inlet relative humidities (RH), with deeper mechanism analysis, including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and local current density distribution. Results show that a positive temperature difference (PTD) enhances HCD performance, improving voltage and current uniformity by 10% and 2% at 2100 mA/cm<sup>2</sup>, while the enhancement weakens with increasing inlet humidity. Reverse temperature differences (RTDs) persistently have an adverse effect, which worsens with higher difference amplitude and RH. Mechanism exploration for TDs reveals that PTD improves membrane hydration upstream and reduces flooding downstream under low humidity conditions while tending to cause flooding upstream under high humidity conditions. RTD causes drying upstream and exacerbates downstream flooding, which is more pronounced at higher humidity.
