Carbon capture systems and methods of use thereof

A capacitive carbon capture system comprising:

• one or more carbon capture modules comprising:
• a first current collector having a surface;
• a second current collector having a surface and spaced from the first current collector;
• a first carbon capture cell and a second carbon capture cell, the first carbon capture cell and the second carbon capture cell each comprising:
• a first electrode comprising a first surface and a second surface opposed the first surface,
• a second electrode spaced from the first electrode, the second electrode comprising a first surface and a second surface opposed the first surface,
• an electrolyte solution in contact with the second surface of the first electrode and the first surface of the second electrode, and
• a gas permeable layer comprising a first surface and a second surface opposed to the first surface;
• and
• a barrier extending between the first carbon capture cell and the second carbon capture cell, the barrier being electrically conductive and not permeable for ions.
