There is renewed interest in the photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical conversion of CO2 into value-added chemicals using various semiconductor particles and electrodes. Common CO2 reduction products are C1 chemicals (CO, HCOOH, CH3OH, and CH4) in aqueous media, while the production of C2-C4 hydrocarbons (e.g., C2H6 and C3H8) has also been reported. A number of solar-active materials have been reported, but they still suffer from low selectivity, poor energy efficiency, and instability, while failing to drive simultaneous water oxidation. This talk presents our recent studies on the solar CO2 conversion to value-added chemicals while using water as an electron donor in various photo-systems. |
