Abstract

Herein discussed is a method of co-producing carbon monoxide and hydrogen comprising: (a) providing an electrochemical reactor having an anode, a cathode, and a mixed-conducting membrane between the anode and the cathode; (b) introducing a first stream to the anode, wherein the first stream comprises a fuel; (c) introducing a second stream to the cathode, wherein the second stream comprises carbon dioxide and water, wherein carbon monoxide is generated from carbon dioxide electrochemically and hydrogen is generated from water electrochemically. In an embodiment, the anode and the cathode are separated by the membrane and are both exposed to reducing environments during the entire time of operation.
