COおよびCO₂電解におけるスタックレベルの課題

Stack-level challenges for CO and CO₂ electrolysis

Bradie S. Crandall,Gregory S. Hutchings & Feng Jiao

Nature Chemical Engineering  Published:22 April 2026

CO and CO₂ electrolysis have progressed rapidly from laboratory test cells to pilot-scale stacks. This Comment argues that the field must now shift focus to confront the unique engineering and deployment challenges of stack-scale systems, which represent a decisive frontier for achieving commercialization and climate impact.
