[0048] The electrolysis device provided by the present invention will be further explained and described below through optional embodiments.
[0049] Example 1
[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a flow-type electrolysis device for enhancing carbon dioxide mass transfer, which can be assembled in multiple layers according to the minimum reaction unit according to the use requirements and used in series.
[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the clamping plates at both ends (the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2) are tightened by bolts, and the pressure at both ends ensures that there is sufficient pressure and sealing between the cathode plate 4, the anode plate 3, and the bipolar plate 5 in the middle. Figure 2 As shown, the groove in the clamping plate is used to fix the cathode and anode plates 3, and the positioning holes in the clamping plates (the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2) are used to facilitate multi-layer assembly.
