Researchers at Rice University have discovered a surprisingly simple method for vastly improving the stability of electrochemical devices that convert carbon dioxide into useful fuels and chemicals.

Electrochemical CO2 reduction, or CO2RR , is an emerging green technology that uses electricity, ideally from renewable sources, to transform climate-warming CO2 into valuable products like carbon monoxide, ethylene or alcohols.

The simplicity of the approach involves only small tweaks to existing humidification setups.

"This is a major finding for CO2 electrolysis," co-first author Ahmad Elgazzar says.

The method addresses a long-standing obstacle with a low-cost, easily implementable solution.
