Solar Fuels : Different n‐ and p‐type semiconductors have been investigated for sustainable solar fuel production. p‐Type semiconductors, such as NiO, Fe 3 O 4 , Co 3 O 4 , and CuO, are able to reduce carbon monoxide by water or hydrogen to methane (see picture). The highest CH 4 yield achieved was 17.26 mmol of CH 4 per gram of catalyst using NiO in an excess of H 2 .
