Prof. Dr. Erwin Reisner, University of Cambridge, UK: Sunlight-Powered Circular Chemistry Solar panels are well established to produce electricity as photovoltaic cells and are already in advanced development to photo-catalyse overall water splitting to produce green hydrogen as artificial leaves or photocatalyst sheets. This presentation will introduce solar chemistry panels as an emerging technology to enable sunlight-powered circular carbon chemistry. Our progress in designing and constructing prototype solar devices for the direct conversion of carbon dioxide as well as the coupling to the valorisation of biomass and plastic waste streams into renewable fuels and higher-value chemicals will be presented.
