Abstract

The feasibility of energy-efficient photochemically driven CO₂ release has been demonstrated in several recent reports, but the regeneration step remains much slower. Recently in Chem, Ahmad et al. reported a fully visible-light-driven CO₂ separation system capable of operating with concentrated sunlight. We discuss this advance and the potential route toward large-scale fully photochemical CO₂ capture.
