3. Transport limited current: quantify gas transport to the catalyst using O2 reduction as a probe reaction

All these techniques complement each other and gives a deeper view into the state of the electrolyzer in action.

As an electrochemist, the coolest bit was how we demonstrated different ways to quantify the enhanced hydrophobicity of the system:
1. In-line gas pressure changes: indicate gas pathway blockage
2. Capacitance: measures degree of water penetration into the electrode pores

He made these intricate copper nanowires with twinned boundaries (where the crystal structure across the boundary is a mirror image), with a high degree of facet control and enhanced hydrophobicity.
These properties led to selectivity and stability for CO2 reduction to C2H4.
