摘要: Provided are an artificial photosynthesis module and an artificial photosynthesis device that have excellent energy conversion efficiency. The artificial photosynthesis module includes a first electrode that decomposes a raw material fluid with light to obtain a first fluid; a second electrode that decomposes the raw material fluid with the light to obtain a second fluid; and a diaphragm disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The diaphragm is formed of a membrane having through-holes, is immersed in pure water having a temperature of 25° C. for one minute, and has a light transmittance of 60% or more in a wavelength range of 380 nm to 780 nm in a state where the diaphragm is immersed in the pure water. The average hole diameter of the through-holes of the diaphragm is more than 0.1 μm and less than 50 μm. An artificial photosynthesis device has the above-described artificial photosynthesis module.

摘要: Provided are a photocatalyst electrode, an artificial photosynthesis module, and an artificial photosynthesis device that have low electrical resistance, even in a case where the area is increased, in a case where a transparent conductive layer is used. The photocatalyst electrode is a photocatalyst electrode that has a substrate, a transparent conductive layer, a photocatalyst layer, and a linear metal electrical conductor, and splits water with light to produce a gas. The substrate, the transparent conductive layer, and the photocatalyst layer are laminated in this order, and the linear metal electrical conductor is in contact with the transparent conductive layer. The artificial photosynthesis module has the oxygen evolution electrode that splits the water with the light to produce oxygen, and a hydrogen evolution electrode that splits the water with the light to produce hydrogen. The oxygen evolution electrode and the hydrogen evolution electrode are disposed in series in a traveling direction of the light. At least one of the oxygen evolution electrode or the hydrogen evolution electrode has the configuration of the above-described photocatalyst electrode. The artificial photosynthesis device has the artificial photosynthesis module, and circulates and utilizes water.
