Abstract

Methods and systems for fluid distribution in electrolyzer cells are disclosed herein. A disclosed a carbon oxide electrolyzer includes a polar plate, a cathode area, a carbon oxide reactant gas serving as a reduction substrate in the cathode area, a cathode fluid inlet, a cathode fluid outlet, an anode area, a liquid oxidation substrate in the anode area; and a compressed electrically conductive mesh: (i) in electrical contact with the polar plate; and (ii) that provides a fluid path from the cathode fluid inlet to the cathode fluid outlet for the carbon oxide reactant gas through the compressed electrically conductive mesh.
