ABSTRACT
In summary, the acid-humidification
strategy markedly efficiently prevents salt precipitation, improving the
operational stability of CO2RR MEA electrolyzer. This study
highlights the feasibility of managing ion behavior through pH regulation,
meanwhile underscoring the importance of the acid humidification method in
extending electrolyzer lifetime, paving a solid path toward the
commercialization prospects of CO2RR technology. In addition, the practical adoption of this strategy must
also consider long-term operational factors, including the stability of
membrane in an acidified environment, corrosion management, and overall system
safety. Continued research into these areas will be essential to fully unlock
the commercial potential of this innovative approach.
