Abstract Electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (CO RR) has attracted much attention in the last decade, owing to its unique advantages such as operation at ambient conditions, coupling with renewable electricity, and producing a wide range of products commodities. The majority RR studies are focused on pure feed, while real waste streams, flue gas or biogas, concentration does not exceed 40%. Therefore, economic feasibility carbon footprint greatly limited by purification steps before electrolysis ($70–100 per ton for /N separation). In recent years, have exhibited importance this matter integrating capture electroreduction single unit. Mostly, solutions electrolytes been under attention, promising results achieved significantly improve overall economy RR. focus capture‐electroreduction integration can go beyond solution/electrolyte‐based (e.g., amine ionic liquids) other processes solid adsorption membrane‐based processes, more efficient options, be potentially integrated gas‐diffusion electrode design. This article aims review efforts provides new perspectives material selection design membrane‐ adsorption‐based capture‐reduction integration, addition analysis integration.

An efficient gas diffusion electrode (GDE) is crucial for enhancing mass transport involving gas-phase CO2 conversion in the electrochemical reduction reaction (CO2RR). Microtubular hollow fiber GDE (HFGDE) with a porous hierarchical wall has garnered significant attention, which can modulate triple-phase zone and improve performance of CO2RR. Simultaneously, engineering nano/microstructure surfaces electrocatalysts have been demonstrated to effectively enhance selectivity activity Here, we developed microparticle Ag-based HFGDE via an situ oxidation–reduction method. Both CO showed enhancement over pristine thermal reduced Ag without surface reconstruction. At −1.2 V vs RHE, faradaic efficiency 94%, partial current density 83.4 mA cm–2, surpassing that treatment electrodes, only 26% 12.3 cm–2. The distinctive reconstruction on electrocatalyst could be attributed decreasing activation energy barrier rate-limiting step initial electron/proton transfer. This work represents facile strategy as advanced materials conversion.
