AB A novel plasmonic reactor concept is proposed and tested to work as a visible energyharvesting device while allowing reactions to transform CO2 to be carried out.Particularly the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction has been tested as a means tointroduce renewable energy into the economy. The development of the new reactorconcept involved the synthesis of a new composite capable of plasmonic activationwith light, the development of an impregnation method to create a single catalystreactor entity, and finally the assembly of a reaction system to test the reaction. Thecomposite developed was based on a Cu/ZnO catalyst dispersed into transparentaerogels. This allows efficient light transmission and a high surface area for thecatalyst. An effective yet simple impregnation method was developed that allowedintroduction of the composites into glass microchannels. The activation of thereaction was made using LEDs that covered all the sides of the reactor allowing a highpower delivery. The results of the reaction show a stable process capable of lowtemperature transformations.
