Systems and methods for capturing and releasing carbon dioxide at least in part via the electrochemical production of acids and/or bases are generally described. An aqueous input stream that includes a dissolved salt such as sodium chloride may be input into an electrolysis assembly to produce acidic and/or basic species. The basic species may promote capture of carbon dioxide (e.g., via direct air capture or from a point source). The acidic species may promote subsequent release of the carbon dioxide to form a carbon dioxide-rich stream. In some instances, at least some streams are concentrated and/or recycled, thereby improving overall system performance and/or efficiency.

In one aspect, the present disclosure provides nano and microstructures of conducting polymers which may be used in the treatment of neuron regeneration. In some embodiments, the microstructures may be a microcup or a nanogroove structure. The present disclosure also provides methods of preparing the conducting polymer coated microstructures and methods of using these compositions or structures.

An apparatus for producing an organic hydride includes: an anode electrode that generates protons by oxidizing water; a cathode electrode that generates an organic hydride by hydrogenating a substance to be hydrogenated with the protons; an electrolyte membrane that has an EW of less than 980 and is arranged between the anode electrode and the cathode electrode so as to transfer the protons from the anode electrode side to the cathode electrode side; and a low water content layer that is arranged between the electrolyte membrane and the cathode electrode and that has a lower water content than that of the electrolyte membrane.
