发明名称 PHOTOELECTRODE USED FOR CARBON DIOXIDE REDUCTION AND METHOD FOR REDUCING CARBON DIOXIDE USING THE PHOTOELECTRODE
摘要 Disclosed is an anode electrode including a nitride semiconductor layer. This nitride semiconductor layer includes an AlxGa1-xN layer (0<x≦0.25), an AlyGa1-yN layer (0≦y≦x), and a GaN layer. The AlyGa1-yN layer is interposed between the AlxGa1-xN layer and the GaN layer. The value of x is fixed in the thickness direction of the AlxGa1-xN layer. The value of y decreases from the interface with the AlxGa1-xN layer f toward the interface with the GaN layer. The AlxGa1-xN layer is irradiated with light having a wavelength of 360 nm or less so as to reduce carbon dioxide.

主权项 1. A photoelectrode used to reduce carbon dioxide by light energy, comprising a region including a nitride semiconductor layer in which a first aluminum gallium nitride layer (composition formula: AlxGa1-xN, where a value of x representing a composition ratio of Al is a fixed value that satisfies 0<x≦0.25), a second aluminum gallium nitride layer (composition formula: AlyGa1-yN, where a value of y representing a composition ratio of Al is a variable value that satisfies 0≦y≦x), and a gallium nitride layer (composition formula: GaN) are laminated in this order from a surface of the photoelectrode to be irradiated with light, wherein the value of y in the second aluminum gallium nitride layer changes, without any increase, from an interface with the first aluminum gallium nitride layer toward an interface with the gallium nitride layer.
