Researchers use efficient microbial electrosynthesis cells to convert CO2 to butyric acid; upgrade to butanol

Green Car Congress

by interrupting CO 2 supply and maintaining specific pH and hydrogen partial pressure conditions. The MES cell design proved highly efficient, with average cell voltages of 2.6–2.8 Romans-Casas et al. Solventogenic butanol production was triggered at a pH below 4.8 V and an electric energy requirement of 34.6
