Description
Summary:The photoreduction of carbon dioxide to give value‐added products is attractive for the production of renewable fuels and the mitigation of global warming. In their Communication on page 5570 ff., J. Ye et al. report an efficient method for CO2 reduction over elemental boron in the presence of only water and under light irradiation through a one‐step photothermocatalytic process. The boron material harvests the incident light, converts it into thermal energy, generates hydrogen, and catalyzes the overall process.
