Electrochemical Carbon Dioxide Capture and Concentration

Electrochemical carbon capture and concentration (eCCC) offers a promising alternative to thermochemical processes as it circumvents the limitations of temperature-driven capture and release. This review will discuss a wide range of eCCC approaches, starting with the first examples reported in the 1960s and 1970s, then transitioning into more recent approaches and future outlooks. For each approach, the achievements in the field, current challenges, and opportunities for improvement will be described. This review is a comprehensive survey of the eCCC field and evaluates the chemical, theoretical, and electrochemical engineering aspects of different methods to aid in the development of modern economical eCCC technologies that can be utilized in large-scale carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) processes.
