Optical Excitation of a Nanoparticle Cu/p-NiO Photocathode Improves Reaction Selectivity for CO2 Reduction in Aqueous Electrolytes

Giulia Tagliabue, Xueqian Li

We report the light-induced modification of catalytic selectivity for photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction in aqueous media using copper (Cu) nanoparticles dispersed onto p-type nickel oxide (p-NiO) photocathodes. Optical excitation of Cu nanoparticles gener ...
