Funded Activity Summary

Generating fuels through carbon dioxide electrolysis. This project aims to develop highly efficient integrated carbon dioxide electrolysis systems that can achieve overall solar-to-fuel energy efficiencies larger than the ten percent usually needed for practical applications. The integrated system will comprise three main components, including an efficient anode that oxidises water to oxygen, an active cathode that reduces carbon dioxide to chemical fuels and photovoltaic cells as the source of electricity. Successful implementation of this project is expected to lead to commercialisation of photovoltaic cells-powered carbon dioxide electrolysis systems, which can be used in both households and industry.
