Antimony Porphyrins as Red-Light Powered Photocatalysts for Solar Fuel Production from Halide Solutions in the Presence of Air

Original Kurzfassung:
Halide salts from brine or seawater as well as O2 from air
are earth-abundant resources which can be exploited for
artificial photosynthetic production of renewable fuels. In
the presence of a suitable light-harvesting photocatalyst
under ambient conditions the simultaneous formation of
halogens and hydrogen peroxide as energy carriers is
feasible upon exposure to sunlight. The chemically stored
solar energy could then be converted back into electricity
on demand using fuel cells or redox flow batteries. Such
an approach might help to create low-cost devices for the
direct photochemical conversion and storage of solar
energy.
