BIOinspired photocatalytic POLymersomes for compartmentalized solar Energy conversion
The transition to sustainable fuel and chemical production using renewable energy sources is paramount to curb CO2 emissions and decrease reliance on fossil fuels. In this context, artificial photosynthesis (AP) offers a promising approach to mimic natural photosynthesis (NP) to store solar energy into chemical bonds, driving the conversion of water and CO2 into renewable products. However, current photocatalytic AP systems are constrained by low efficiency, limited product selectivity, specially going beyond the 2 electron CO2 reduction, and poor control of cross-reactivity in solution. BIOPOLE introduces an innovative compartmentalized approach to AP by mimicking the spatial layout of…
