Electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction (CO2RR) technology is a critical pathway for achieving carbon neutrality. However, its industrial-scale application is hindered by the flooding issue of gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) under high-current-density operation. Flooding is a dynamic failure process wherein the electrolyte breaches the hydrophobic barrier and blocks gas transport pathways. This intrusion is driven by the coupling of multiple physical forces, including capillary effects, hydrostatic pressure, and reaction heat, and is further exacerbated by chemical and electrochemical mechanisms such as electro-wetting effects and carbonate crystallization induced by local alkalization. This severely compromises the stability of the gas-liquid-solid three-phase interface and leads to performance degradation. To systematically elucidate mitigation strategies for flooding, this review discusses dual approaches based on the intrinsic structural optimization of GDEs and engineered operational control: On one hand, enhancing the electrode's anti-permeability through hydrophobic modification of the catalyst layer, gradient microstructure design of the microporous layer, and surface engineering of the gas diffusion layer; On the other hand, weakening the external driving forces for flooding via innovations in flow field design, precise matching of gas-liquid pressures, and temperature management. This work provides new perspectives for advancing CO2RR electrolysis technology towards industrially stable operation.
