Direct Solar-to-Fuel CO2 Reduction

One of today’s main scientific development topics is about satisfying the rising energy demand in an environmentally friendly way. Observing the present global scenario and analyzing the different solutions for this problem, we tried to provide an answer to this urgent problem.In this work we try to provide a new solution to the energy problem. Capturing and reducing CO2 to produce syngas (CO + hydrogen) using just the Sun as an energy source could be the right path in figuring out the problem. In this way it will be possible to produce hydrogen and, in the mean time, literally reduce CO2 in a completely “green” way. In fact the out-put products of our system are hydrogen and CO, which together form syngas, and O2.
