A single pot electrolytic synthesis of hydrogen and carbon fuels is achieved through the use of a mixed, hydroxide/carbonate electrolyte, a nickel anode (generating O 2 ), and a nickel or steel cathode. In article number 1401791 Stuart Licht and co‐workers report that the generation of hydrogen and carbon fuels is driven with conventional power or efficiently generated from sunlight using solar thermal and electric (CPV) energy as STEP (solar thermal electrochemical process) fuels.
