ELECTROCHEMICAL REDUCTION DEVICE

摘要

An electrochemical reduction device 10 includes an electrode unit 100, a power controller 20, an organic material storage tank 30, a water storage tank 40, a gas-water separation unit 50, and a controller 60. The electrode unit 100 has an electrolyte membrane 100, a reduction electrode 120, and an oxygen generating electrode 130. A diffusion layer, for causing a liquid aromatic compound and a hydride of the aromatic compound to pass through, is provided near to one major surface of the reduction electrode 120, the one major surface being opposite to the electrolyte membrane 110. Further, a dense layer is provided between the diffusion layer and the reduction electrode 120.
