    摘要: A carbon dioxide electrolytic device includes: an anode configured to oxidize water or a hydroxide ion and thus generate oxygen; an anode solution flow path configured to supply an anode solution to the anode; a cathode configured to reduce carbon dioxide and thus generate a carbon compound; a gas flow path configured to supply a gas to the cathode, the gas containing carbon dioxide; and a diaphragm provided between the anode and the cathode and including a porous film. The porous film includes a first porous surface provided on an anode side and having a first average pore size, and a second porous surface provided on a cathode side and having a second average pore size. The first average pore size being larger than the second average pore size.

    摘要: A carbon dioxide electrolytic device of an embodiment includes: an electrolysis cell including a cathode, an anode, a gas supply flow path, a solution supply flow path, and a separator; a CO2 gas supply unit configured to supply CO2 gas to the gas supply flow path; an electrolytic solution supply unit configured to supply an electrolytic solution to the solution supply flow path; and a rinse material supply unit configured to supply a rinse material to the gas supply flow path. The gas supply flow path has a first opening, a second opening, and an auxiliary flow path provided to a part of a flow path between the first opening and the second opening, and configured to make at least the rinse material flow therethrough. A switching mechanism configured to switch a flow direction of the rinse material in the auxiliary flow path is connected to the gas supply flow path.
