Abstract
Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide have been catalytically reduced by the surface-confined Everitt's salt and leucoindigo. The conversions are the redox reactions consisting of the reduction of CO or CO 2 to methanol and the oxidation of Everitt's salt to Prussian blue or leucoindigo to indigo. These reactions need to be activated via the homogeneous catalysis involving a metal complex and a primary alcohol. Everitt's salt and leucoindigo were regenerated by using sunlight as the only energy source. The maximum current efficiencies were 96.5% for CO and 64.8% for CO 2 at the cell voltage of 2.0 V.
