Description
Summary:This perspective gives an overview of recent developments in heterogeneous photocatalytic CO 2 reduction for C1/C2 fuels production over semiconductors, which has been known for several decades as a potential feasible means to store intermittent solar energy and to recycle CO 2 . In recent years, significant efforts have been made in order to further improve the photoactivity and the selectivity through developing novel photocatalysts and its CO 2 photoreduction reaction systems, which would be of great interest in the field of solar conversion and CO 2 resource utilization. This perspective reviews the recent developments in photocatalytic CO 2 reduction over semiconductors for CO 2 resource utilization.
