| Summary: | This paper presents the solar-driven electrocarboxylation of 2-bromopyridine (2-BP) with CO<sub>2</sub> into high-value-added chemicals 2-picolinic acid (2-PA) using dye-sensitized photovoltaics under simulated sunlight. Using three series-connected photovoltaic modules and an Ag electrode with excellent catalytic performance, a Faraday efficiency (<i>FE</i>) of 33.3% is obtained for 2-PA under mild conditions. The experimental results show that photovoltaics-driven systems for electrocarboxylation conversion of CO<sub>2</sub> with heterocyclic halide to afford value-added heterocyclic carboxylic acid are feasible and effective. |
