Pairing plastic waste reforming and carbon dioxide (CO2) utilisation to produce chemical energy carriers provides an attractive means mitigate create value, but challenges persist in achieving selective product formation, separation overall device integration. Herein, we present organic-inorganic photoelectrochemical (PEC) tandem that enables the solar-powered comproportionation of CO2 into a single product, formate. The hematite photoanode achieves continuous oxidation alkaline pre-treated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics formate, while organic semiconductor photocathode coupled biocatalyst photoreduction formate under neutral pH conditions. integrated PEC operates without external voltage input achieve simultaneous reduction, leading near-200% Faradaic efficiency average production rate 11 μmol cm-2 h-1 for 10 h simulated AM1.5G irradiation at room temperature. This work introduces strategy visible-light promoted processing two distinct streams thereby enhancing formation rates, reducing limitations arising from advancing efforts toward sustainable circular industry.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells are under intensive development for the synthesis of solar fuels, but CO2 reduction typically only results in simple building blocks such as HCOO-. Here, we demonstrate that CO2-converting PEC can drive integrated enzymatic domino catalysis to produce chiral organic molecules by using CO2/HCOO- a sustainable redox couple. First, establish semiartificial electrode consisting three enzymes co-immobilized on high surface area based carbon felt covered mesoporous indium tin oxide (ITO) coating. When applying mild cathodic potential (-0.25 V vs reversible hydrogen (RHE)), is reduced HCOO- W-formate dehydrogenase (FDHNvH) from Nitratidesulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough, which then enables NAD+ NADH an NAD+-cofactor-dependent formate Candida boidinii (FDHCB). Subsequently, alcohol (ADH) uses generated cycling reduce acetophenone 1-phenylethanol good enantiomeric excess (93%) and conversion yields (38%). Depending specific ADH (ADHS or ADHR), either (S)- (R)-1-phenylethanol be synthesized at pH 6 20 °C. To illustrate energy utilization, integrate nanoconfined with platform semiconductor photocathode allow enantioselective (at +0.8 RHE) fuel device. This proof-of-principle demonstration shows concepts devices artificial photosynthesis readily translated precise biocatalysis, including production light.
