Kinetics of CO 2 reduction across Fe(Ni)S precipitates: the role of pH gradients

Yannick De Decker, Virgile Cantillon, Thomas Doneux, Reuben Hudson

Redox gradients across an Fe-NiS precipitate drive CO 2 reduction in a microfluidic analogue of hydrothermal vents. Electron flow through the mineral couples spatially separated reactions, mimicking a short circuited electrochemical cell.
