Water-Based Electrochemical Ethanol Synthesis from Direct Air Capture of Carbon Dioxide
Project Type: Self-Initiated
Project Description
The full prototype was successfully built and tested. While system integration was successful across other components, the system did not produce ethanol above the detection limit. This failure was due to a necessary shift to a less efficient, alternative catalyst to adhere to the project timeline, as the originally specified catalyst required specialized equipment and external collaboration.
