A method for improving coal bed gas recovery efficiency by electrochemistry is characterized in that a vertical well is drilled, a well net is formed, an anode electrode is placed at a wellhead of a liquid injection well, a cathode electrode is fixed at the bottom of a gas recovery well, fracturing liquid with electrolyte is used for fracturing a coal bed, the electric osmosis direction of an electrochemically modified area points to the bottom of the gas recovery well from the wellhead of the liquid injection well after a direct-current power supply is turned on, water is drained to the gas recovery well, and coal bed gas is displaced. The electrophoretic direction points to the wellhead of the liquid injection well from the bottom of the gas recovery well, solid particles such as pulverized coal and rock powder in coal reservoir pore fractures migrate towards the wellhead of the liquid injection well, and a methane migration channel is dredged. Filling minerals such as calcite and pyrite in the coal reservoir pore fractures are corroded by electrolysis, the number of the fractures is increased, and permeability of the coal bed is improved. The temperature of a coal reservoir and the electrolyte is increased by electric heating action, and desorption-diffusion characteristics of methane are improved. Under the combined action of electric drive, electric plug removal, electric permeability increase, electric heating and the like, the desorption and seepage capacity of the coal reservoir is effectively enhanced, gas production is improved by 3-10 times, and the recovery efficiency is improved to 60-90%.
