CO2SimO: Photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction with simultaneous oxidative raw material production. The project “CO2SimO” develops a photoelectrochemical cell (PEC) for the future use of CO2 as raw material for the solar production of methane and hydrogen peroxide. The solar conversion of CO2 has the advantage of directly producing a storable and transportable energy carrier.
