Efficient and selective CO evolution was shown to be stable over several hours. The use of protic solution additives to overcome severe semiconductor-to-catalyst charge transfer limitations provided evidence of a modified catalytic pathway.Efficient and selective carbon dioxide reduction on low cost protected Cu2O photocathodes using a molecular catalysttext::journal::journal article::research article
