ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL FOR CARBON DIOXIDE REDUCTION TOWARDS LIQUID CHEMICALS

An electrochemical cell configured for reducing carbon dioxide; it has an anode electrode; a cathode electrode comprising a porous support including metal acting as a catalyst; an anion exchange membrane, wherein the anion exchange membrane separates an anodic compartment from a cathodic compartment; the anolyte and the catholyte are composed of a liquid electrolyte solution with a concentration between 0.1M-10M, wherein anions of the electrolyte solution is adapted to diffuse from the cathodic compartment to the anodic compartment through the anion exchange membrane, wherein the carbon dioxide contacts the cathode electrode and the catalyst converts electrochemically the carbon dioxide into C1-C2 liquid organic biproducts and anions as at the catholyte; wherein the cathode electrode and the anode electrode are electrically connected through one of current collector plates; and a wired connection.
