Low temperature electrochemical reverse water gas shift reaction

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for the electrochemical conversion of a gas comprising CO and a device for the electrochemical conversion of a gas comprising CO, on a cathode of an electrolysis cell which comprises a metal which is selected from the group comprising Ag, Au, Zn, Pd, Cu, and / or alloys and / or mixtures thereof, a gas comprising CO is converted, preferably to a product gas comprising CO, and wherein a gas comprising H is converted to a product comprising protons at an anode of the electrolytic cell.
