Bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BPMED) is a proven technology for separating ionic species driven by electrochemical potential through ion conductive membrane separators. When using a bipolar membrane (BPM) as the separator, a pH gradient is created by the generation of acid and base via water dissociation at the internal interface of an anion conductive and a cation conductive membrane. BPMED can been used for the capture and concentration of atmospheric CO2, for example when using a liquid alkaline capture sorbent, where the acidification of the capture stream can be used to regenerate pure CO2 while further basification of the remaining effluent regenerates the alkaline capture sorbent to be re-used in the direct air capture process. Current commercial BPMs require high overpotentials to drive water dissociation and can only operate at low to moderate current densities. While considerable work has gone into the development of efficient, electrochemically active BPMs through improved membrane polymer chemistries and high-activity water dissociation catalysts, little work has been done to physically scale up these materials and use them in electrodialysis-driven carbon capture and concentration systems beyond lab scale (i.e., >1 cm2).In this presentation, we will report a scalable BPMED cell that can sense the resistive contributions of the individual membrane components (i.e., the anion exchange and cation exchange membranes, and the water dissociation at the internal BPM interface) with increasing membrane active area from 1 cm2 to 25 cm2. With this BPMED cell, changes in the BPM and water dissociation catalyst compositions and structures are related to electrochemical performance metrics (overpotential and CO2 recovery efficiency) at increasing physical scales. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to reveal resistive contributions to the cell at increasing active area, while the inlet and outlet pH were measured to confirm the overall acidification and basification of the dialysis cell to promote carbon capture and conversion, as well as sorbent regeneration. This study aims to build a bridge between the necessary improvements in the membrane and water dissociation catalyst compositions with industrially relevant energy efficiency and conversion performance, accelerating the development of high performance BPMs.
