  • Publication number: 20230381715
    Abstract: A carbon dioxide recovery system separates CO2 from gas containing CO2 via an electrochemical reaction. The carbon dioxide recovery system includes an electrochemical cell including a working electrode and a counter electrode. The working electrode includes CO2 adsorbent. The CO2 adsorbent adsorbs CO2 via an oxygen reduction reaction by using electrons supplied from the counter electrode to the working electrode when a first voltage is applied between the working electrode and the counter electrode. The oxygen reduction reaction produces active oxygen via reduction of O2. The CO2 adsorbent desorbs CO2 by discharging electrons from the working electrode to the counter electrode when a second voltage different from the first voltage is applied between the working electrode and the counter electrode. The CO2 adsorbent has a promoting function for promoting the oxygen reduction reaction.
