Abstract
Carbon dioxide capture using redox-active species and related systems and methods are generally described.
Claims24
A method of capturing carbon dioxide, comprising:
- exposing a redox-active species to carbon dioxide such that the redox-active species captures carbon dioxide,
- wherein the redox-active species is capable of capturing more than one molecule of carbon dioxide per electron transferred to the redox-active species.
(canceled)
A carbon-capture system comprising:
- an electrochemical cell, and
- a redox-active species configured to capture carbon dioxide when an electrical potential is applied to the electrochemical cell,
- wherein the redox-active species is capable of capturing more than one molecule of carbon dioxide per electron that is transferred to the redox-active species.
(canceled)
22-25. (canceled)
A carbon-capture process comprising a symmetric cyclic electrochemical system, wherein the system comprises a redox-active organometallic species comprising a ligand with multiple hemi-labile iron coordination sites.
