Electrocatalytic Conversion Technology of Biomass-Derived Oxygenates to Produce Renewable Fuels and Chemicals |
| 초록 |
Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells have been developed in the last 20 years to be highly efficient methods to produce electricity from oxygenated compounded. Recently, the PEM technology has been used to produce a wide range of products from the electrocatalytic oxidation and reduction of biomass-derived molecules. The electrocatalytic oxidation and reduction of biomass-derived oxygenates has several key advantages over other methods of biomass conversion. The most significant advantage is that no oxygen gas (or hydrogen gas) is required for the reactions. Another advantage is that this technology stores electricity as a liquid transportation fuel that fits into existing infrastructure. All the reactions in the PEM technology take place in one simple reactor that could easily be scaled up to a commercial level. Finally, one of the most important advantages of electrocatalysis compared to conventional catalysis is the ability to manipulate the size of the activation barrier, and thus reaction selectivity, by controlling the electrode potential. Therefore, reactions that require high temperatures and pressures in a conventional catalytic system will readily occur at atmospheric temperatures and pressures in the electrocatalytic PEM reactor due to the application of a voltage. In this presentation we will demonstrate how PEM technology can be used to produce different fuels and chemicals from biomass-derived oxygenates. |
