In photoelectrochemical CO2 conversion, the concentration of fixed CO2 on the photocathode surface is of primary concern. Herein, a CO2 adsorption-enhanced semiconductor/metal-complex hybrid photoelectrocatalytic interface was established by utilizing a carbon aerogel as the CO2 fixation substrate....
