For many chemical processes, high single-pass conversion of reactants into products reduces the need to separate products downstream. However, low-temperature carbon dioxide electrolyzers that maximize single-pass conversion suffer from low product concentration. Maximizing product concentration is therefore a more meaningful target for CO electrolyzers than maximizing single-pass conversion.
对于许多化学过程而言，反应物到产物的高单程转化率降低了下游分离产物的需求。然而，使单程转化率最大化的低温二氧化碳电解槽存在产物浓度低的问题。因此，对于二氧化碳电解槽来说，使产物浓度最大化比使单程转化率最大化是一个更有意义的目标。
