Abstract

We report the photoelectrochemical (PEC) oxidation of methanol on a rationally designed graphene-TiO₂ nanorod array (G-TNR) photoanode. A PEC methanol fuel cell was constructed by coupling the G-TNR photoanode with a cathode. This study raises a conceptual fuel cell that realizes the synergistic energy conversion of chemical energy and solar energy.
