Abstract
⺠The Gibbs free energy of reaction for electron production from CO is thermodynamically favorable for typical conditions. ⺠The Gibbs free energy of reaction for electron production from H2 can be thermodynamically favorable or unfavorable. ⺠Electron production from CO is always more thermodynamically favorable compared to electron production from H2. ⺠It is unlikely that H2 can be utilized in favor of CO for electron production when both species are present. ⺠CO conversion efficiency will likely be sacrificed during syngas fermentation.
