Abstract

Abstract:

Two homogeneous photoelectrocatalytic systems composed of simple polypyridyl Co complexes[Co(tpy)₂](PF₆)₂ and[Co(bpy)₃](PF₆)₂ as electrocatalysts and a Si wafer as the photoelectrode were used for combined photoelectrochemical reduction of CO₂ to CO. A high photocurrent density of 1.4 mA/cm² was observed for the system with the[Co(tpy)₂](PF₆)₂ catalyst and a photovoltage of 400 mV was generated. Faradaic efficiencies of CO were optimized to 83% and 94% for the[Co(tpy)₂](PF₆)₂ and[Co(bpy)₃](PF₆)₂ complexes, respectively, in acetonitrile solution with 10% methanol (volume fraction, same below) as a protic additive. Addition of 2% water volume fraction induced a large amount of non-specific H₂ evolution by the Si photoelectrode.
