Pairing electrochemical CO2 reduction with glycerol oxidation: Bottlenecks today, opportunities tomorrow
One of the greatest obstacles hampering the industrial application of CO2 electrolysis is the large cell voltage (often over 3 V), which is mainly rooted in the high redox potential and overpotential of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) occurring at the anode. It is possible to mitigate this issue by replacing the OER with alternative processes, such as the electrochemical oxidation of small organic molecules. Although the number of examples of paired CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR)/small organic molecule oxidation is rapidly increasing, their viability has only been tested at the laboratory scale, mainly in batch cells. In this perspective, taking the glycerol oxidation reaction (GOR) as an example, the main challenges concerning the quantification of GOR products, the use of crude glycerol as a feedstock, and the integration of GOR with CO2RR are summarized. Finally, the most important envisioned future steps for the implementation of paired CO2RR/GOR electrolysis at scale are outlined.
