Perovskite-driven solar C2 hydrocarbon synthesis from CO2 - Nature Catalysis
www.nature.com
Hydrocarbon selectivity in photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction has been limited due to a lack of low-overpotential catalysts and high-photovoltage semiconductors. Here Cu nanoflowers are interfaced with perovskite light absorbers for bias-free conversion of CO2 to ethane and ethylene coupled to water or glycerol oxidation.

Original Title: A self-contained carbon-carbon (C2) producing system that combines the catalytic power of copper with perovskite, a material used in photovoltaic solar panels. This research brings the scientific community one step closer to replicating the productivity of a green leaf.
