Abstract
The present invention provides an aqueous primary battery for carbon dioxide conversion containing a metal nanocluster catalyst, and a carbon dioxide conversion method capable of spontaneously converting carbon dioxide using the same even at high current density without the need for external power.
Claims18
An aqueous primary battery for carbon dioxide conversion, comprising:
- a first electrolyte solution that is an aqueous electrolyte accommodated in a first reaction space;
- a cathode in contact with the first electrolyte solution;
- a second electrolyte solution that is an aqueous electrolyte accommodated in the second reaction space;
- and
- an anode made of a metal material in contact with the second electrolyte solution,
- wherein the cathode includes a metal nanocluster catalyst,
- wherein the aqueous primary battery for carbon dioxide conversion is operated without external power, and
- wherein the aqueous primary battery for carbon dioxide conversion is continuously operated by continuously or discontinuously replenishing metal lost from the anode to the anode.
