“…The CO 2 RR reaction is typically facilitated by an increase in the pH of the solution . We thus investigated the CO 2 RR activity of Y 2 Cu 2 O 5 by substituting the electrolyte from 0.5 M KHCO 3 to 1 M KOH (Figure e–g and Figure S10).…”

“…These findings indicate that, aside from issues such as the pH decrease of the KOH solution, the degradation of the GDE may be the main factor contributing to the instability of CO 2 electrolyzers. [18][19] It is important to note that this novel biohybrid battery was characterized by a long discharging time, making it suitable for water biotoxicity monitoring. Once the cell voltage reached a stable state, a specific volume of methanal solution (Figure 3a) and Cu 2 + solution (Figure 3b) was added to the microbial electrochemical reactors, respectively.…”

“…[18] Several promotion effects of alkali cations have been proposed for CO 2 RR, including modifying the local electric field, buffering interfacial pH, altering water structure, and influencing reaction intermediates. [19] Furthermore, the presence of free ions can initiate the electrochemical reaction on the inner surface by facilitating ion conduction. [20] However, the using of extremely high catholyte KOH concentration might restrict the stability of CO 2 electrolysers, which is prone to the formation of carbonate salts.…”

“…In particular, a significant decrease in selectivity occurs at high current densities because the supply of CO 2 does not cover demand. 30–32 In addition, the catalyst is easily dislodged when immersed in the electrolyte, and stability tests cannot be run for a long time, often only a dozen hours. 33,34 Therefore, H-type cells are only suitable for laboratory-scale research and cannot be scaled up for industrial applications.…”
