Scheme 8.1 Schematic Illustration of the Integration of CO2 Solvent Absorption and Paired Organic Electrosynthesis. A solvent with high CO2 solubility serves as the absorption medium for the catholyte electrolyte, enabling high CO2 concentration and, consequently, enhanced conversion rates within a given electrolyte volume and reactor. The choice of the oxidation reaction is dictated by the specific requirements of the cathodic reaction. For instance, in the case of cathodic conversion to hydrogenated products, an oxidation reaction producing protons as byproducts can be envisaged. The coupling should also consider the utilization of side products from cathodic conversion such as carbonate species.
