Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this catalyzed electrolysis, where the solution in question produces hydrogen and carbon monoxide (as opposed to the more familiar hydrogen and oxygen from the electrolysis of water)? Does the PV solar cell participate in any capacity other than providing

Thoughts? I'm having a difficult time evaluating significance of this. https://news.uic.edu/breakthrough-solar-cell-captures-co2-and-sunlight-produces-burnable-fuel Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have engineered a potentially game-changing solar cell that cheaply and
