Abstract

The adverse effects of global warming and climate change have driven the exploration of feasible routes for CO2 capture, storage, conversion and utilization. The processes related to CO2 conversion in high-temperature electrochemical devices (HTEDs) using dense ceramic membranes are particularly appealing due to the simultaneous realization of highly efficient CO2 conversion and value-added chemical production as well as the generation of electricity and storage of renewable energy in some cases. Currently, most studies are focused on the two processes, CO2 electrolysis and H2O/CO2 co-electrolysis in oxygen-conducting solid oxide electrolysis cell (O-SOEC) reactors. Less attention has been paid to other meaningful CO2-conversion-related processes in HTEDs and systematic summary and analysis are currently not available. This review will fill the gap and classify the CO2-conversion-related processes in HTEDs reported in recent years into four types according to the related reactions, including assisted CO2 reduction to CO, H2O and CO2 co-conversion, dry reforming of methane and CO2 hydrogenation. Firstly, an overview of the fundamentals of HTED processes is presented, and then the related mechanism and research progress of each type of reactions in different HTEDs are elucidated and concluded accordingly. The remaining major technical issues are also briefly introduced. Lastly, the main challenges and feasible solutions as well as the future prospects of HTEDs for CO2-conversion-related processes are also discussed in this review.
