Critical Aspects and Recent Advances in Structural Engineering of Photocatalysts for Sunlight‐Driven Photocatalytic Reduction of CO 2 into Fuels
Abstract
Abstract The catalytic conversion of CO 2 into valuable fuels is a compelling solution for tackling the global warming and fuel crisis. Light absorption and charge separation, as well as adsorption/activation of CO 2 on the photocatalyst surface, are essential steps for this process. This article reviews the CO 2 photoreduction mechanisms and critical aspects that greatly affect the photoreduction efficiency. Additionally, different materials for CO 2 photoreduction are provided, including d 0 and d 10 metal oxides/mixed oxides, sulfides, polymeric materials, and metal phosphides with visible response, metal‐organic frameworks, and layer double hydroxides. Furthermore, various structural engineering strategies and corresponding state‐of‐the‐art photocatalytic systems are reviewed and discussed, such as bandgap engineering, geometrical nanostructure engineering, and heterostructure engineering. Each strategy has advantages and disadvantages, requiring further adjustment to further improve the photocatalytic performance of the photocatalyst. Based on this review, it is greatly expected that efficiently artificial systems and the breakthrough technologies for CO 2 reduction will be successfully developed in the future to solve the energy shortage as well as the environmental problem.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
