Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, in these devices, there is no CO 2 Examples of successful reduction reactions
In addition, in order to conduct CO 2 In the reduction reaction, ions with positive charges generated on the oxidation side and ions with negative charges generated on the reduction side must be transferred to the opposite electrode, but for such a plate-like stack structure, there is no consideration on this point

[0087] use Figure 3 to Figure 12 The photochemical reaction device of the first embodiment will be described.

[0088] The photochemical reaction device according to the first embodiment is a photochemical reaction cell comprising an oxidation catalyst layer 19, a reduction catalyst layer 20, and a multi-junction solar cell 17 formed therebetween, and a photochemical reaction cell in which ions flow in the oxidation catalyst layer 19. An example of an ion transfer path transferred between and the reduction catalyst layer 20 . Thus, the H generated on the side of the oxidation catalyst layer 19 can be made + Transferred to the reduction catalyst layer 20 with high photoreaction efficiency, the H + Carbon dioxide is decomposed on the reduction catalyst layer 20 side. Next, the first embodiment will be described in detail.

Embodiment 1

[0148] Example 1 is an example of the photochemical reaction cell in the photochemical reaction device of the first embodiment. More specifically, the photochemical reaction cell in Example 1 has the ability to transport only H + The through hole 52 has a larger circle equivalent diameter. Here, 12 types (evaluation battery numbers 1-1 to 1-12) were prepared in which the circle-equivalent diameters of the through holes 52 were 50 μm, 100 μm, and 200 μm, and the area ratios were 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%. ) different photochemical reaction cells, and evaluate their CO 2 photoreduction efficiency. The photochemical reaction cells in these Examples 1 were fabricated as follows.

[0149] First, prepare a structure having a multi-junction solar cell 17 made of a pin-type a-Si layer, an a-SiGe layer, and an a-SiGe layer, and a multi-junction solar cell 17 made of ITO formed on the surface of the multi-junction solar cell 17. The oxidation electrode layer 18, the reduction electrode...

Embodiment approach

[0160] use Figure 13 to Figure 19 The photochemical reaction device of the second embodiment will be described.

[0161] according to Figure 12 The experimental results in , when the through hole 52 is formed as the ion transfer path, the CO 2 The photoreduction efficiency is mainly determined not only by the H of the via hole 52 + The transmission efficiency is determined, and is also determined by the amount of light absorbed by the multi-junction solar cell 17 . This is because, when the through-hole 52 is provided in the photochemical reaction cell, the area of ​​the multi-junction type solar cell 17 is reduced, thereby reducing the light absorption amount. As a result, the number of electrons and holes generated by light decreases to lower the reaction efficiency of the redox reaction. Therefore, it is required to suppress the loss of the amount of light absorbed by the multi-junction solar cell 17 caused by the formation of the through hole 52 .

Abstract

This photochemical reaction system is provided with: a CO2 generation means (111) for generating CO2; a CO2 absorption means (112) for absorbing CO2 generated by the CO2 generation means; and a CO2 reduction means (110). The CO2 reduction means (110) is provided with: a laminate body comprising an oxidation catalyst layer (19) which oxidizes H2O to generate O2 and H+, a reduction catalyst layer (20) which reduces the CO2 absorbed by the CO2 absorption means to generate a carbon compound, and a semiconductor layer (17) which is formed between the oxidation catalyst layer and the reduction catalyst layer and which performs charge separation by means of light energy; and an ion transfer path for transferring ions between the oxidation catalyst layer side and the reduction catalyst layer side.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a photochemical reaction system. Background technique [0002] From the viewpoint of energy issues and environmental issues, it is required to efficiently reduce CO by light energy like plants 2 . Plants use a system that excites light energy called the Z route in two stages. Plants through the photochemical reaction of such a system, from water (H 2 O) obtains electrons to reduce carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) to synthesize cellulose and sugars. [0003] However, without the use of sacrificial reagents, artificially gaining electrons from water and decomposing CO through photochemical reactions 2 The technical efficiency is very low. [0004] For example, in Patent Document 1, as a photochemical reaction device, an oxidation H 2 O produces oxygen (O 2 ) oxidation reaction electrode and reduction of CO 2 Electrodes for reduction reactions that generate carbon compounds. Oxidation reaction electrodes are placed on the surface ...
