Abstract
This research internship focuses on the development and optimization of integrated technologies for CO₂ capture and electrochemical conversion into value-added products. The work involves membrane-based separation processes and the design of electrochemical systems, including gas diffusion electrodes and flow cells. Key performance indicators such as Faradaic efficiency, production rate, and energy consumption are evaluated under various operating conditions. The study aims to improve system efficiency, stability, and scalability, contributing to the advancement of sustainable carbon capture and utilization (CCU) strategies aligned with circular economy and decarbonization goals.
