Abstract: [Display omitted] • Co-modified Ta 3 N 5 nanotubes reach a photocurrent of 9.4 mA/cm2 at 1.23 V. • g-C 3 N 4 can selectively electro-regenerate NAD+ to 1,4-NADH. • An enzymatic photoelectrochemical cell with a Ta 3 N 5 anode and g-C 3 N 4 cathode is constructed. • A solar-to-formate efficiency of 0.064 % is achieved. • C-13 isotope labelling proves the direct utilisation of CO 2 in the enzymatic cathode. Mimicking natural photosynthesis by direct photoelectrochemical (PEC) reduction of CO 2 to chemicals and fuels requires complex cell assemblies with limitations in selectivity, efficiency, cost, and stability. Here, we present a breakthrough cathode utilizing an oxygen tolerant formate dehydrogenase enzyme derived from clostridium carboxidivorans and coupled to a novel and efficient in situ nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+/NADH) regeneration mechanism through interfacial electrochemistry on g-C 3 N 4 films. We demonstrate stable (20 h) aerobic PEC CO 2 -to-formate reduction at close to 100 % faradaic efficiency and unit selectivity in a bio-hybrid PEC cell of minimal engineering with optimized Ta 3 N 5 nanotube photoanode powered by simulated sunlight with a solar to fuel efficiency of 0.063 %, approaching that of natural photosynthesis.
