Metal-carbon dioxide (co) battery cell

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a zero-gap flow-type metal-Carbon dioxide CObattery cell. The battery cell includes an electrolyte chamber allowing flow of electrolyte and a metal electrode configured as anode, being accommodated in the electrolyte chamber and defined with a plurality of apertures. Further, the battery cell includes a COchamber allowing flow of COand a gas diffusion electrode (GDE) configured as cathode and accommodated in the COchamber. The GDE is defined with a first side and a second side, which is coated with catalyst layer. The catalyst layer abuts a membrane on the metal electrode such that, the electrolyte from the electrolyte chamber flows through the plurality of apertures, penetrates through the membrane and contacts the catalyst layer. Further, COfrom the COchamber contacts the second side of the gas diffusion electrode to diffuse through the catalyst and towards the metal electrode.
