Photochemical and Photoelectrochemical Reduction of CO

Abstract

The recent literature on photochemical and photoelectrochemical reductions of CO is reviewed. The different methods of achieving light absorption, electron-hole separation, and electrochemical reduction of CO are considered. Energy gap matching for reduction of CO to different products, including CO, formic acid, and methanol, is used to identify the most promising systems. Different approaches to lowering overpotentials and achieving high chemical selectivities by employing catalysts are described and compared.
