Abstract

Electrochemical ethylene production rates are enhanced by pushing favourable local electrolyte conditions to occur at higher current densities and lower relative overpotentials. In particular the combined influences of electrode morphology and buffering on electrode pH and CO₂ conditions are assessed.
