Abstract
Microfluidics is a powerful technique to enhance reaction systems. The integration of electrochemical system onto a microfluidic platform results in a cutting-edge interdisciplinary research area, i.e., microfluidic electrochemistry. In this chapter, theoretical fundamentals and recent scientific advancement of microfluidic electrochemistry are interpreted with application background of carbon-neutral energy conversion cycle (CECC).The CECC discussed here involves an electrolytic cell (EC) to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into formic acid (FA) with input of renewable energy and a fuel cell (FC) to release the chemical energy stored in FA to useful electricity, both of which are built on microfluidic platforms without need of membrane.Also, of special interest in this chapter is overview on the electrode development of both FC and EC for the reversible conversion between CO2 and FA.
