Published at ACS Catalysis – Multimodal Synergy via Interfacial Charge Regulation Boosts Solar-Driven Photothermal CO2 Splitting in Perovskite-Ceria Composites

Abstract: Solar-driven thermochemical CO2 splitting is a scalable and promising approach for establishing a carbon-neutral energy system. However, its extremely high conversion temperatures greatly limit its energy efficiency and widespread application. This extreme temperature requirement is fundamentally dictated by the thermodynamic bottleneck of lattice-oxygen activation. Here, we propose an interfacial charge regulation strategy that couples …
