  • Patent number: 11964232
    Abstract: Provided is a carbon dioxide recovery system that separates CO2 from a CO2-containing gas containing CO2 by an electrochemical reaction, and comprises an electrochemical cell comprising a working electrode containing a CO2 adsorbent, and a counter electrode. Application of a voltage between the working electrode and the counter electrode causes electrons to be supplied from the counter electrode to the working electrode, and enables the CO2 adsorbent to bind to CO2 as electrons are supplied. The CO2 adsorbent is a crystalline porous body, and has a molecular structure in which a functional group that exchanges electrons and binds to CO2 is regularly arranged.

  • Publication number: 20230191366
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a new way for fixing carbon dioxide under mild conditions and with high efficiency. [Solution] The material for carbon dioxide fixation according to the present invention contains a metal ion donor and an amine as a precursor of a bridging ligand. The amine is configured to react with a gaseous carbon dioxide to form the bridging ligand having at least one carbamate anion moiety. The bridging ligand is configured to react with the metal ion donor to form a coordination polymer in which a plurality of the metal ions is linked by the bridging ligand.
