# Recent developments in the design of photoreactors for solar energy conversion from water splitting and CO2 reduction
Authors: Van\-Huy Nguyen, Jeffrey C.S. Wu
Source title: , 2018 () 
Academic year of acceptance: Abstract: In recent decades, increasing interest has been devoted to improving the methods
for solar energy conversion using water splitting and CO2 reduction for solar
fuel development. Herein, we discuss the historical background, present the
current status, and expose development prospects to summarize and highlight the
design of photoreactors. First, we discuss how converting CO2 greenhouse gas to
renewable fuels by using sustainable sunlight energy can simultaneously solve
the problems of global warming and sustainable energy shortage. Several types of
photoreactors for photocatalytic CO2 reduction and CO2 hydrogenation for
realizing solar fuels have been developed extensively. Among them, an
optical\-fiber photoreactor, a monolith photoreactor, and an internally
illuminated monolith photoreactor have received considerable attention recently.
Second, we show how the design of novel twin photoreactor systems has great
potential for solar energy conversion from water splitting. Combining water
splitting and CO2 hydrogenation to mimic photosynthesis is expected to play an
important role in the future. Third, we demonstrate how a twin photoreactor also
offers a new approach to producing solar fuels and simultaneously degrading
organic wastewater. We believe that effectively combining H2 production to
hydrogenate CO2 and organic wastewater treatment is a promising green
technology. Finally, we propose critical challenges and prospects for the design
of photoreactors. This review highlights the need to give more attention to the
design of photoreactors for solar energy conversion from water splitting and CO2
reduction.
