abstract = {Research in CO$_{2}$ electro-reduction with the aim of
providing green chemical feedstock (e.g., CO) has been
driven towards optimization of individual components such as
CO$_{2}$-reducing gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) to achieve
stable electrolysis processes. Moving forward, investigation
into the performance of electrodes at a cell- and
system-level is needed to identify key operational
parameters that enhance electrode efficiency. In this study,
we characterize self-regulated steady-states within an
electrolytic cell. Additionally, we explore the
circumstances under which the current density passing
through the cell becomes self-limiting. GDE-relevant system
parameters and their impact on the overall electrode
durability during electrolysis at high current densities up
to −1.2 A cm$^{-2}$ were analyzed on an intermediate time
scale. Integration of inline sensors to the electrolysis
test setup enabled close monitoring of changes in the
electrolyte temperature and electrolyte pH, as well as the
detection of pressure changes around the cathode. In the
presented study, the GDE did not appear to be the bottleneck
to achieving high current density CO$_{2}$-electrolysis.
Instead, electrolyte heating and gas evolution within the
electrolyte gap limited the maximum current densities that
could be applied to a GDE flow cell. Our results suggest
that electrode performance (selectivity, durability) can
sometimes be underestimated when electrolysis cells and
their periphery are not optimally suited for operation with
GDEs yet, thus preventing performance windows from being
reached.},
