Estimating the term…
A method and/or electrochemical cell for utilising one or more gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) in an electrochemical cell, the one or more gas diffusion electrodes have a wetting pressure and/or a bubble point exceeding 0.2 bar. The one or more gas diffusion electrodes can be subjected to a pressure differential between a liquid side and a gas side. A pressure on the liquid side of the GDE over the gas side does not exceed the wetting pressure of the GDE during operation (in cases where a liquid electrolyte side has higher pressure), and/or a pressure on the gas side of the GDE over the liquid side, does not exceeds the bubble point of the GDE (in cases where the gas side has the higher pressure).
(canceled)
A method of operating an electrochemical cell having at least one gas diffusion electrode, a liquid electrolyte in an electrolyte chamber of the electrochemical cell, and a first gas in a gas region of the electrochemical cell, the electrolyte chamber being separated from the gas region by a porous gas permeable polymer membrane having a wetting pressure greater than 0.2 bar, the method comprising:
An electrochemical cell comprising:
