Abstract
⺠A novel way of overcoming the bottleneck of slow proton flux in BES is described. ⺠Ammonia addition to the anode prevented acidification and enabled proton transfer. ⺠Ammonia could be recovered from the cathode and continuously recycled to the anode. ⺠Ammonia recycle allowed long term sustainable operation of the cell. ⺠Using ammonium as proton shuttle prevented cation accumulation in the catholyte.
