• Assessment of Solar‐to‐Fuels Strategies: Photocatalysis and Electrocatalytic Reduction (2016) · doi

  For the photocatalytic process, the most important challenge is to improve the solar‐to‐fuels efficiency to at least 15 %, whereas for the electrocatalytic reduction process, even with much improved current density, cell potential, and reaction selectivity, the process will be ultimately limited by the price of solar (or other renewable) electricity.
