We report the oxidation of Ce³⁺ to Ce⁴⁺ using a porous WO₃ photoanode and a Pt cathode with excellent Faradaic efficiency (FE (Ce⁴⁺)) of up to 98% under solar simulated light in an aqueous electrolyte solution containing a high concentration of SO₄^2- anions. The competing side oxidative reactions such as S₂O₈^2- and O₂ production were found to be suppressed in the presence of Ce³⁺. The Ce⁴⁺ yield (YI (Ce⁴⁺)) from Ce³⁺ reached up to 95%. Also, a noble-metal-free biomass-derived inexpensive electrode was found to be an efficient replacement of the Pt cathode.
