Open-source, 3D-printed platform enables low-cost, standardized electrocatalytic research
A problem for researchers has been a lack of an agreed-upon standard gas diffusion electrode reactor to enable robust comparison of catalytic reactions. Instead, the common practice is to compare the performance of a new catalyst for a particular reaction against that of a "standard" or benchmark catalyst, within the same reactor. This practice reveals a further problem when no standard catalyst exists for a reaction, which typically applies to most reactions. In other words, researchers lack a platform to compare reaction processes.
