This technology relates to an electrochemical continuous flow reactor and a methane conversion method for converting methane into ethanol using this reactor. In particular, it is a technology designed to enhance performance, durability, stability, and applicability based on key materials, structures, processes, or device configurations related to the electrochemical continuous flow reactor and the methane conversion method for converting methane into ethanol using it.
It aims to overcome the limitations of conventional batch reactors, which suffer from low productivity due to low methane solubility and can only activate methane in zero cycles. Accordingly, this technology proposes a technical concept that utilizes an electrochemical continuous flow reactor comprising a gas diffusion electrode, an anode fluid flow plate, and a cathode fluid flow plate as a core means, and enables the continuous activation and conversion of methane by directly injecting methane into the reactor.
As a result, this invention is expected to improve the conversion performance and productivity of the methane conversion process, and simultaneously enhance reproducibility, scalability, and process suitability in actual operating environments. Furthermore, it can be utilized as a high-performance material, device, battery, sensor, apparatus, or manufacturing process in related industries, making it advantageous in terms of subsequent commercialization and demonstration development.
