A Monolithic Artificial Leaf for Solar Methanol Production from CO <sub>2</sub> and H <sub>2</sub> O
. We further integrate the photocathode with a multijunction perovskite photovoltaic minimodule to afford a standalone solar fuel system, which demonstrates a light-to-methanol conversion efficiency of 0.8%, 32 times higher than the present record in light-to-alcohol conversion with an artificial leaf.
