Key Points

The research aims to improve the production of methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6) from CO2 and H2O using solar energy.
Utilized varying amounts of catalysts for photoreduction processes.
Analyzed selectivity and yield of CH4 and C2H6 produced.
Examined thermodynamic conditions influencing reaction outcomes.
Achieved higher selectivity for CH4 and C2H6 with optimized catalyst amounts.
Demonstrated significant yield improvements compared to previous methods.
Revealed specific thermodynamic conditions that favor production.

Abstract

The global imperative for carbon-neutral fuels starkly contrasts with the persistent failure to achieve solar-driven CH4/C2H6 synthesis from CO2/H2O with both high selectivity and yield, as the thermodynamic propensity for...
