    摘要: The present invention relates to a carbon dioxide capture and conversion device comprising:
    (A) a first reactor comprising an anion exchange membrane placed between a porous anode and porous cathode, wherein the anode contains or is connected physically or electrically to oxygen evolution and/or carbon dioxide evolution catalyst(s), and the cathode contains or is connected physically or electrically to an oxygen reduction catalyst;
    (B) a second reactor comprising a bipolar membrane placed between a porous anode and porous cathode, wherein the anode contains or is connected physically or electrically to an oxygen evolution catalyst, and the cathode contains or is connected physically or electrically to a carbon dioxide reduction catalyst;
    wherein the porous cathode of the first reactor has at least a fluid inlet able to carry carbon dioxide, air and water, possibly with dissolved species, and the porous anode of the first reactor has at least a fluid inlet able to carry water, possibly with dissolved species, and oxygen,
    the porous cathode of the second reactor has at least a fluid outlet able to carry organic reaction products resulting from carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO 2 RR), and the porous anode of the second reactor has at least a fluid outlet able to carry water and oxygen,
    wherein the carbon dioxide capture device is configured to transfer fluid exiting the porous cathode of the first reactor to the porous anode of the second reactor, and to transfer fluid exiting the porous anode of the first reactor to the porous cathode of the second reactor.
