An All‐in‐One Lignin‐Based Artificial Thylakoid Nanovesicle Via In‐Situ Confined Growth Strategy for High‐Efficient and Selectivity CO2 Photoreduction

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
The low light/CO2 capture and slow dynamic transfer of photogenerated electrons hamper photocatalysts’ high activity and selectivity. Inspired by the chloroplast's photosynthesis mechanism, an all‐in‐one lignin‐based artificial thylakoid nanovesicle (AiO‐L‐ATN) is constructed using a confined growth strategy of lignin molecules. The performance of such
