Principle of the energy harvesting method: dissolved CO 2 dissociates in protons and bicarbonate ions, which diffuse into different electrodes due to the ion-selectivity of the membranes placed in front. Mixing two solutions of different composition leads to a mixture with a lower Gibbs energy content compared to the original two solutions.
