Solar-driven selective conversion of millimolar dissolved carbon to fuels with molecular flux generation by Bin Liu, Zheng Qian, Xiang Shi, Haoqing Su, Wentao Zhang, Atsu Kludze, Yuze Zheng, Chengxing He, Rito Yanagi, Shu Hu

“…Photoelectrochemical (PEC) CO2 reduction (CO2R) devices promise the sustainable conversion of dissolved carbon in seawater to carbon products using sunlight as the only energy input. However, the diffusion-dominant transport mechanism and the near-zero concentration of CO2(aq) (CO2 dissolved in aqueous solution) in static seawater has made it extremely challenging to achieve high solar-to-fuel (STF) efficiency and high carbon-product selectivity. …”
