Abstract

This proposal aims to significantly expand the Solar Fuels Database, which introduced a machine-readable framework for solar-to-fuel devices and an online data entry and visualization interface. The project's objective is to broaden the database to include additional solar fuels and technological pathways not covered previously. It will encompass various fuels such as carbon monoxide, syngas, formic acid, methane, ethanol, and extend to thermochemical redox cycles. Collaboration with global research communities will ensure comprehensive metadata capture. Standardized data reporting will enhance findability and dissemination of results. The project aligns with open-science objectives and encourages community contributions, resulting in a continually updated and openly accessible resource. This resource will consolidate prior work and offer a comprehensive overview to drive future research trends in advancing solar fuels for widespread implementation.
