Solar-Driven Co-Electrolysis Converts Biomass Sugars into Value-Added Chemicals and Green Hydrogen (IMAGE)
Caption
This schematic illustrates the solar-powered co-electrolysis strategy in which biomass-derived sugars undergo selective oxidation on a copper-doped cobalt oxyhydroxide catalyst to yield value-added products such as formate. Simultaneously, water is reduced at the cathode to generate high-purity hydrogen in a membrane-free reactor. The integrated process upgrades renewable biomass while reducing the energy demand of hydrogen production, offering a cost-effective pathway for green fuel generation.
