Abstract
Methods and systems related to oxocarbon electrolyzers are disclosed herein. A disclosed system includes an oxocarbon electrolysis reactor with an anode area with an oxidation substrate, cathode area with an oxocarbon species as a reduction substrate, and an electroneutral separator separating the anode area and the cathode area while allowing ionic migration between the anode area and cathode area. The electroneutral separator may be a porous electroneutral separator. The oxocarbon electrolyzer may also include a conductive electrolyte applied to the separator. Ionic migration between the anode area and the cathode area may be accomplished via the conductive electrolyte in the porous electroneutral separator.
