Management of bubbles is key in the development of electrochemical devices, and this is especially true for carbon-capture devices that must mediate the generation of CO2 gas from an aqueous (bi)carbonate electrolyte. Work by Diederichsen et al. identified bubble management as a key challenge in continuous EMCC systems due to power losses that occur from loss of electrochemically active surface area due to CO2 bubbling. The model presented here enables a simulation of the bubble coverage on the CEL, as well as an understanding of how the bubble coverage affects the energy requirements for BPM-ED EMCC.
