We designed an electrochemical reactor that converts bicarbonate “reactive carbon capture solutions” into carbon-containing products. In this presentation, I will show how this reactor couples CO2 conversion with upstream carbon capture.

Electrochemical capacitors hold promise for applications
demanding high power density. However, our understanding
of electrolyte transport within these devices remains limited.
Existing models often make inaccurate predictions by neglecting confinement effects and
the interplay between the electrical double layer (EDL) and redox reactions. In this seminar, we will discuss these shortcomings with a two-pronged approach, comprehensive theoretical framework and fully resolved EDL-redox coupling.

In this seminar, we will discuss specific two catalytic technologies to decarbonize plastic use.

This seminar will introduce
oppositely charged triblock polyelectrolytes as additives for precursor solutions that trans-
form the precursor solution into a self-assembled polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) hydrogel with
enhanced shear strength and viscosity, providing interim protection against precursor dilution and mitigating secondary flows.
