    摘要: In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a method of capturing carbon from seawater, the method including: flowing input seawater including bicarbonate and having a pH greater than 8 through a center compartment of an electrolytic cell, wherein the center compartment is disposed between an anode compartment and a cathode compartment of the electrolytic cell; acidifying the input seawater in the center compartment with a proton, to form acidified seawater; generating carbon dioxide in the center compartment including reaction of the proton with the bicarbonate from the input seawater; flowing acidified seawater out of the center compartment; contacting the acidified seawater with hydroxide or a hydroxide salt from the cathode compartment to generate basified seawater having a pH greater than 9; and flowing hydrogen generated in the cathode compartment to the anode compartment.

    摘要: Flow cell systems are provided. Example flow cell systems can include an H+/H2 half-cell and a counterpart Fe3+/Fe2+ or V5+/V4+ half-cell. Flow cell systems can also include a half-cell in fluid communication with an electrolyte regeneration chamber. Embodiments of these flow cells systems can be configured to produce hydrogen through electrolysis. Flow cell battery systems are also disclosed. Example flow cell battery systems can include an H+/H2 analyte; and a counterpart Fe3+/Fe2+ or V5+/V4+ catholyte. Processes for generating hydrogen are also disclosed. Example processes can include generating protons from a Fe3+/Fe2+ or V5+/V4+ electrolyte solution; and reacting the protons with H2O to form H2.
