Abstract Climate change has driven the need for carbon capture to mitigate anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, yet current thermochemical methods are hampered by high energy intensities. Electrochemically mediated carbon capture (EMCC) utilizing redox‐active carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) carriers is an attractive alternative for carbon capture. Here, an economical vat dye compound, indigo, is presented, which can reversibly capture and release CO 2 upon electrochemical reduction and oxidation, respectively. Electrode and electrolyte engineering strategies are utilized to improve the reversibility and stability of indigo for EMCC. A bench‐scale prototypical fixed‐bed carbon capture device is constructed to demonstrate indigo's EMCC performance under various practically relevant conditions, such as simulated flue gas and extremely dilute sources pertinent to direct air capture. A hybrid sorbent electrode‐gas diffusion layer approach is revealed to alleviate CO 2 mass transport limitations, achieving ≈80% CO 2 capacity utilization under a 15% CO 2 feed stream. Furthermore, a reactive‐diffusive mass transport model is developed to illustrate engineering approaches that can be universally applied to optimize fixed‐bed EMCC systems. This work advances the potential for a class of low‐cost sorbents for EMCC while underscoring the importance of molecular, electrolyte, materials, and device engineering strategies to enable high‐performance carbon capture.
