In photoelectrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide, organic solvents and their mixtures with water have also been used. The use of organic solvents has the advantages103 that (1) competitive hydrogen formation can be suppressed and (2) the increased solubility of C02 in nonaqueous solutions28 30 has similar effects to the use of higher C02 pressures.

Several etching procedures were attempted for p-CdTe for the photoelectrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide. Etching with dilute thiosulfite or bromine in methanol did not result in better photocurrent-potential relationship. Hence, it was concluded that etching with aqua regia followed by rinsing with water is the best surface treatment for the photoelectrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide. All the impedance results described below were recorded using this surface in contact with electrolyte.
