In other words, CO 2 introduced at the air electrode is converted to carbonate ions and transferred through the electrolyte layer to the fuel electrode, where it is converted back to CO 2. Water vapor, residual oxygen, nitrogen and the CO 2 from the input fuel pass through the cathode to the system exhaust. Click to enlarge.
