A clean and membrane-free chlor-alkali process with decoupled Cl2 and H2/NaOH production

A clean and membrane-free chlor-alkali process with decoupled Cl2 and H2/NaOH production

The chlor-alkali process is an important industrial process to make commodity chemicals; however, it usually requires the use of dangerous chemicals as membrane material. Here, the authors demonstrate clean, membrane-free chlor-alkali electrolysis, where chlorine evolution and hydrogen/sodium hydrox...
