ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL AND METHOD FOR CARBON CAPTURE WITH ENERGY STORAGE

Described are flow electrochemical cells and systems using flow electrochemical cells that carry simultaneous COcapture and electrical energy storage. The flow electrochemical cells comprise a negative electrode configured to be in fluid communication with alkaline negative electrolyte, a positive electrode configured to be in fluid communication with acidic positive electrolyte, a first ion-exchange membrane in contact with the negative electrode, a second ion-exchange membrane in contact with the positive electrode, and an inert intermediate neutralyte layer between the first ion-exchange membrane and the second ion-exchange membrane.
