One of the major concerns of consuming fossil fuels to produce useful form of energy is the emission of CO2, a greenhouse gas that can cause climate change and ultimately threaten the survival of humanity. Controlling CO2-emission is an urgent but only practical solution to stabilize CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. In this paper, we report our effort to capture CO2 from a simulated flue gas by utilizing a dual-phase mixed carbonate-ion and electron conducting membrane, namely molten carbonate and silver. The obtained CO2 and O-2 flux densities are the highest among the published metal-molten carbonate systems and relatively stable over 80-h period. The measured CO2 and O-2 flux densities not only exhibit similar activation energy but also have the ratio of 2: 1, favorably confirming the surface electrochemical reaction of CO2 + 1/2O(2) + 2e' = CO32-. These results demonstrate the Ag-MC dual-phase composite as a promising high-flux membrane for high-temperature electrochemical CO2 separation from flue gas with high selectivity.
