Efficient Photosynthesis of Value-Added Chemicals by Electrocarboxylation of Bromobenzene with CO₂ Using a Solar Energy Conversion Device.

ABSTRACT: Solar-driven CO₂ conversion into high-value-added chemicals, powered by photovoltaics, is a promising technology for alleviating the global energy crisis and achieving carbon neutrality. However, most of these endeavors focus on CO₂ electroreduction to small-molecule fuels such as CO and ethanol. In this paper, inspired by the photosynthesis of green plants and artificial photosynthesis for the electroreduction of CO₂ into value-added fuel, CO₂ artificial photosynthesis for the electrocarboxylation of bromobenzene (BB) with CO₂ to generate the value-added carboxylation product methyl benzoate (MB) is demonstrated. Using two series-connected dye-sensitized photovoltaics and high-performance catalyst Ag electrodes, our artificial photosy
