Abstract
Disclosed is a method of providing electricity to a vehicle comprising (1) providing an aqueous, ionic solution of carbon dioxide or carbonic acid, or a combination of the two, wherein the source of ions is an acid, an alkali metal salt, an alkaline earth metal salt, or a combination comprising one or more of the foregoing; (2) electrolyzing the aqueous, ionic solution to provide electricity, wherein the electrolysis process proceeds by the conversion of the carbon dioxide or carbonic acid to bicarbonate ions and carbonate ions; and (3) powering a vehicle with that electricity.
Claims9
A method of providing electricity to a vehicle comprising (1) providing an aqueous, ionic solution of carbon dioxide or carbonic acid, or a combination of the two;
- (2) electrolyzing the aqueous, ionic solution to provide electricity, wherein the electrolysis process proceeds by the conversion of the carbon dioxide or carbonic acid to bicarbonate ions and carbonate ions;
- and (3) powering a vehicle with that electricity,
- wherein energy used to run the electrolyzing step is from a solar cell,
- wherein the source of the carbon dioxide or the carbonic acid in the aqueous, ionic solution is either by adding dry ice to water, or by adding carbon dioxide from a carbon capture unit to water,
- wherein the source of ions is a combination of
- citric acid, a graphite powder and cement glue electrode, and NaCl solution;
- or
- citric acid, a graphite powder and cement glue electrode, and solid sodium chloride, and
- wherein graphite is present in the aqueous, ionic solution during electrolysis.
An electrochemical cell for providing electricity to a vehicle, comprising a plurality of electrochemical structures present in a form of a voltaic pile system, each of the electrochemical structures comprising (a) at least one anode comprising a graphite rod or a graphite paint cement glue composite;
- (b) at least one cathode comprising tin-copper-silver solder;
- and (c) at least one electrolysis separator between each anode and the cathode, wherein the electrolysis separator is a combination of a low density polyethylene sheet acting as a dielectric and a metal mesh sieve, wherein the electrochemical cell initially contains an aqueous, acidic solution of carbon dioxide or carbonic acid, or a combination of the two, with citric acid and NaCl solution or solid sodium chloride present, wherein the electrolysis process proceeds by the conversion of the carbon dioxide or carbonic acid to bicarbonate ions and carbonate ions.
