Original Abstract Submitted
A carbon dioxide recovery system includes an electrochemical cell that includes a working electrode, a counter electrode, and an insulating layer. The electrochemical cell is configured to repeat an adsorption mode and a desorption mode. In the adsorption mode, a first voltage is applied between the working electrode and the counter electrode to supply electrons to the working electrode and cause the working electrode to adsorb carbon dioxide in a gas to be treated. In the desorption mode, a second voltage different from the first voltage is applied between the working electrode and the counter electrode to emit electrons from the working electrode and desorb the carbon dioxide from the working electrode. At least one of the adsorption mode and the desorption mode has a pause period during which application of a predetermined voltage between the working electrode and the counter electrode is temporarily suspended.
