<p>A NaSICON cell (10) is used to convert carbon dioxide (42) into a usable, valuable product (50). In general, this reaction occurs at the cathode (28) where electrons are used to reduce the carbon dioxide (42), in the presence of water (46) and/or hydrogen gas, to form formate, methane, ethylene, other hydrocarbons and/or other chemicals. The particular chemical that is formed depends upon the reaction conditions, the voltage applied, etc.</p> |
