A Monolithic Artificial Leaf for Solar Methanol Production from CO2 and H2O.

Key Points

To develop an integrated artificial leaf for efficient solar methanol production from CO2 and H2O.
Integrated a photocathode with a multijunction perovskite photovoltaic minimodule
Measured light-to-methanol conversion efficiency
Evaluated performance as a standalone solar fuel system.
Achieved a light-to-methanol conversion efficiency of 0.8%
Demonstrated an efficiency 32 times higher than previous records in light-to-alcohol conversion

Abstract

. We further integrate the photocathode with a multijunction perovskite photovoltaic minimodule to afford a standalone solar fuel system, which demonstrates a light-to-methanol conversion efficiency of 0.8%, 32 times higher than the present record in light-to-alcohol conversion with an artificial leaf.
