The Cascade: Stochastic Model for Photoelectrochemical CO2 Reduction

The Cascade dataset contains results from a stochastic reaction-diffusion model examining 3-terminal tandem photocathode architectures for photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction. The model was created by Matthew Salazar and published on figshare in April 2026. It focuses on design principles coupling surface chemistry and transport of intermediates like CO.

Use Cases

• Optimizing catalyst layout and flow conditions based on the described stochastic reaction-diffusion model.
• Comparing conversion efficiency of interdigitated versus side-by-side designs based on the reported improvement.
• Analyzing transport of intermediate species within the boundary layer based on the described coupling of chemistry and transport.

Strengths

• Model results show an efficiency improvement by 2 orders of magnitude for specific designs.
• Dataset is 27.2 MB, indicating a substantial model output.
• Model examines key design principles for 3-terminal tandem photocathodes.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
