Photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction on CuO-Cu2O nanocomposites with noble metal co-catalysts enhances the production of C1 oxygenates and acetate by Tahereh Mokary Yazdely, Ricard Garcia-Valls, Alberto Puga

“…The participation of CO2 in them was also confirmed by around 70 % photocurrent increases (higher than 0.2 mA cm−2) and by sensibly milder cathodic potential onsets (≤ −0.4 V), as recorded by linear sweep voltammetry. Photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction experiments under simulated sunlight yielded oxygenated products in the liquid phase, chiefly formate, although acetate was also consistently produced, especially in the presence of noble metal co-catalysts. …”
