Abstract
Surface plasmonic effects have been widely used in photocatalytic reactions like CO2 conversion in the past decades. However, owing to the significant controversy in the physical processes of plasmon photocatalytic reactions and difficulty in realizing CO2 reduction, the influence mechanism of the plasmon effect on the CO2 photoreduction is still under debate. In this study, Au particles deposited on various substrates were employed to acquire insights into the plasmon photocatalytic CO2 reduction, including SiO2, n-Si, p-Si, TiO2-SiO2, TiO2-n-Si, and TiO2-p-Si. It was found that the plasmon resonant enhancement (PRE) effect of Au-SiO2 caused by the Au plasmon was stronger than that of Au-TiO2-SiO2 and Au-n-Si (Au-p-Si) in the visible-light range, while it was weaker for Au-n-Si (Au-p-Si) samples than Au-TiO2-n-Si (Au-TiO2-p-Si). The simulation results agree with the experimental conclusions. The photocatalytic results indicated that the catalytic activity of Au-n-Si (Au-p-Si) samples was lower than that of Au-TiO2-n-Si (Au-TiO2-p-Si), and Au-SiO2 was lower than Au-TiO2-SiO2 and Au-n-Si (Au-p-Si) samples, suggesting that the direct electron transfer (DET) mechanism was dominant here compared with the PRE mechanism.

Abstract
The photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into C2+ products such as ethylene is a promising path toward the carbon neutral goal but remains a big challenge due to the high activation barrier for CO2 and similar reduction potentials of many possible multi-electron-transfer products. Herein, an effective tandem photocatalysis strategy has been developed to support conversion of CO2 to ethylene by construction of the synergistic dual sites in rhenium-(I) bipyridine fac-[ReI(bpy)(CO)3Cl] (Re-bpy) and copper-porphyrinic triazine framework [PTF(Cu)]. With these two catalysts, a large amount of ethylene can be produced at a rate of 73.2 μmol g-1 h-1 under visible light irradiation. However, ethylene cannot be obtained from CO2 by use of either component of the Re-bpy or PTF(Cu) catalysts alone; with a single catalyst, only monocarbon product CO is produced under similar conditions. In the tandem photocatalytic system, the CO generated at the Re-bpy sites is adsorbed by the nearby Cu single sites in PTF(Cu), and this is followed by a synergistic C-C coupling process which ultimately produces ethylene. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the coupling process between PTF(Cu)-*CO and Re-bpy-*CO to form the key intermediate Re-bpy-*CO-*CO-PTF(Cu) is vital to the C2H4 production. This work provides a new pathway for the design of efficient photocatalysts for photoconversion of CO2 to C2 products via a tandem process driven by visible light under mild conditions.

Abstract
Suppressing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is an essential measure toward addressing global warming. Specifically, the photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CRR) is an effective strategy because it affords the conversion of CO2 into useful carbon feedstocks by using sunlight and water. However, the practical application of photocatalyst-promoting CRR (CRR photocatalysts) requires significant improvement of their conversion efficiency. Accordingly, extensive research is being conducted toward improving semiconductor photocatalysts, as well as cocatalysts that are loaded as active sites on the photocatalysts. In this review, we summarize recent research and development trends in the improvement of cocatalysts, which have a significant impact on the catalytic activity and selectivity of photocatalytic CRR. We expect that the advanced knowledge provided on the improvement of cocatalysts for CRR in this review will serve as a general guideline to accelerate the development of highly efficient CRR photocatalysts.

A review of advances in multifunctional XTiO 3 perovskite-type oxides as piezo-photocatalysts for environmental remediation and energy production. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 421:126792.

Abstract
Over more than three decades, the field of engineering of photocatalytic materials with unique properties and enhanced performance has received a huge attention. In this regard, different classes of materials were fabricated and used for different photocatalytic applications. Among these materials, recently multifunctional XTiO3 perovskites have drawn outstanding interest towards environmental remediation and energy conversion thanks to their unique structural, optical, physiochemical, electrical and thermal characteristics. XTiO3 perovskites are able to initiate different surface catalytic reactions. Under ultrasonic vibration or heating, XTiO3 perovskites can induce piezo-catalytic reactions due to the titling of their conduction and valence bands, resulting in the formation of separated charge carriers in the medium. In addition, under light irradiation, XTiO3 perovskites are considered as a new class of photocatalysts for environmental and energy related applications. Herein, we addressed the recent advances on variously synthesized, doped and formulated XTiO3 perovskite-type oxides showing piezo- and/or photocatalytic exploitation in environmental remediation and energy conversion. The control of structural crystallite size and phase, conductivity, morphology, oxygen vacancy control, doping agents and ratio has a significant role on the photocatalytic and piezocatalytic activities. The different piezo or/and photocatalytic processes mechanistic pathways towards varying applications were discussed. The current challenges facing these materials and future trends were addressed at the end of the review.

Abstract
Solar-driven carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion has gained tremendous attention as a prominent strategy to simultaneously reduce the atmospheric CO2 concentration and convert solar energy into solar fuels in the form of chemical bonds. Numerous efforts have been devoted to diverse photo-driven processes for CO2 conversion, which utilized a multidisciplinary strategy. Among them, the architecture of nanostructured metal-based catalysts is emerging as an eminent solution for the design of catalysts of this field. In this work, we first provide fundamental mechanisms of photochemical, photoelectrochemical, photothermal, and photobio(electro)chemical CO2 reduction processes to achieve an in-deep understanding of vital aspects. Importantly, the recent progress in the catalyst design for each reaction system is discussed and highlighted. Based on these analyses, an overview of photo-driven CO2 reduction on metal-based catalysts for solar fuel production is also spotlighted. Finally, we analyze challenges and prospects for the strategic direction of developments in the field.

Abstract
The conversion of chemically inert carbon dioxide and its photoreduction to value-added products have attracted enormous attention as an intriguing prospect for utilizing the principal greenhouse gas CO2. Herein, we explore the use of Ag25 clusters with well-defined atomic structures for high-selectivity photocatalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to methane. Ag25 clusters, with molecular-like properties and surface plasmon resonance, exhibit competitive catalytic activity for light-driven CO2 reduction that yield an almost 100% product selectivity of methane at a relatively mild temperature (100 °C). DFT calculations reveal that the absorption of CO2 on Ag25 clusters is energetically favorable. The methanation of the Ag25 cluster catalyst has been investigated by operando infrared spectroscopy, verifying that methane was produced through a -H-assisted multielectron reaction pathway via the transformation of formyl and formaldehyde species to form surface CHx. This work presents a highly efficient strategy for high-performance CO2 methanation via well-defined metal cluster catalysts.

Abstract
The synergy between metal alloy nanoparticles (NPs) and single atoms (SAs) should maximize the catalytic activity. However, there are no relevant reports on photocatalytic CO2 reduction via utilizing the synergy between SAs and alloy NPs. Herein, we developed a facile photodeposition method to coload the Cu SAs and Au-Cu alloy NPs on TiO2 for the photocatalytic synthesis of solar fuels with CO2 and H2O. The optimized photocatalyst achieved record-high performance with formation rates of 3578.9 for CH4 and 369.8 μmol g-1 h-1 for C2H4, making it significantly more realistic to implement sunlight-driven synthesis of value-added solar fuels. The combined in situ FT-IR spectra and DFT calculations revealed the molecular mechanisms of photocatalytic CO2 reduction and C-C coupling to form C2H4. We proposed that the synergistic function of Cu SAs and Au-Cu alloy NPs could enhance the adsorption activation of CO2 and H2O and lower the overall activation energy barrier (including the rate-determining step) for the CH4 and C2H4 formation. These factors all enable highly efficient and stable production of solar fuels of CH4 and C2H4. The concept of synergistic SAs and metal alloys cocatalysts can be extended to other systems, thus contributing to the development of more effective cocatalysts.

Abstract
The photocatalytic oxidation of biomass-derived building blocks such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a promising reaction for obtaining valuable chemicals and the efficient long-term storage of solar radiation. In this work, we developed innovative TiO2-based materials capable of base-free HMF photo-oxidation in water using simulated solar irradiation. The materials were prepared by combining microemulsion and spray-freeze drying (SFD), resulting in highly porous systems with a large surface area. The effect of titania/silica composition and the presence of gold-copper alloy nanoparticles on the properties of materials as well as photocatalytic performance were evaluated. Among the lab-synthesized photocatalysts, Ti15Si85 SFD and Au3Cu1/Ti15Si85 SFD achieved the higher conversions, while the best selectivity was observed for Au3Cu1/Ti15Si85 SFD. The tests with radical scavengers for both TiO2-m and Au3Cu1/Ti15Si85 SFD suggested that primary species responsible for the selective photo-oxidation of HMF are photo-generated electrons and/or superoxide radicals.

Abstract
Unprecedented metal-free photocatalytic CO2 conversion to CO (up to 228±48 μmol g-1 h-1) was displayed by TiO2@IL hybrid photocatalysts prepared by simple impregnation of commercially available P25-titanium dioxide with imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs). The high activity of TiO2@IL hybrid photocatalysts was mainly associated to (i) TiO2@IL red shift compared to the pure TiO2 absorption, and thus a modification of the TiO2 surface electronic structure; (ii) TiO2 with IL bearing imidazolate anions lowered the CO2 activation energy barrier. The reaction mechanism was postulated to occur via CO2 photoreduction to formate species by the imidazole/imidazole radical redox pair, yielding CO and water.

Abstract
Plasmonic photocatalysis is among the most efficient processes for the photoreduction of CO2 into valuable fuels. The formation of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), energy transfer, and surface reaction are the significant steps in this process. LSPR plays an essential role in the performance of plasmonic photocatalysts as it promotes an excellent, light absorption over a broad wavelength range while simultaneously facilitating an efficient energy transfer to semiconductors. The LSPR transfers energy to a semiconductor through various mechanisms, which have both advantages and disadvantages. This work points out four critical features for plasmonic photocatalyst design, that is, plasmonic materials, size, shape of plasmonic nanoparticles (PNPs), and the contact between PNPs and semiconductor. Various developed plasmonic photocatalysts, as well as their photocatalytic performance in CO2 photoreduction, are reviewed and discussed. Finally, perspectives of advanced architectures and structural engineering for plasmonic photocatalyst design are put forward with high expectations to achieve an efficient CO2 photoreduction shortly.

Abstract
Enormous efforts have been devoted to the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) by utilizing various driving forces, such as heat, electricity, and radiation. However, the efficient reduction of CO2 is still challenging because of sluggish kinetics. Recent pioneering studies from several groups, including us, have demonstrated that the coupling of solar energy and thermal energy offers a novel and promising strategy to promote the activity and/or manipulate selectivity in CO2 reduction. Herein, we clarify the definition and principles of coupling solar energy and thermal energy, and comprehensively review the status and prospects of CO2 reduction by coupling solar energy and thermal energy. Catalyst design, reactor configuration, photo-mediated activity/selectivity, and mechanism studies in photo-thermo CO2 reduction will be emphasized. The aim of this Review is to promote understanding towards CO2 activation and provide guidelines for the design of new catalysts for the efficient reduction of CO2 .

Abstract
The photochemical production of fuels using sunlight is an innovative way for meeting the quickly increasing energy demands. One of the largest challenges is to develop high-performance photocatalysts that can meet the requirements of practical applications. Owing to their intriguing localized surface plasmon resonances, noble metal nanoparticles and nanostructures show a great potential for enhancing the photocatalytic efficiency and thereby have attracted rapidly growing interest recently. Here, for the first time, the latest achievements in the utilization of plasmons in driving CO2 reduction and N2 fixation into high-value products are comprehensively described. The involved plasmonic enhancement mechanisms in the two types of reactions are fully illustrated. A particular emphasis is given to the outlook on the direction and prospects for future work in this topic.

Abstract
Photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into CH4 represents an appealing approach to alleviate the world's continued reliance on fossil fuels and global warming resulting from increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. However, its practical application is greatly limited by serious electron-hole recombination in the photocatalysts and the production of CO and H2 as side reactions. Herein, for the first time, it is demonstrated that the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CH4 can be significantly improved through the simultaneous alloying and hydriding of metal cocatalysts. The isolation of Cu and H atoms in Pd lattices play three roles in the enhancement of CO2 to CH4 conversion: 1) Cu atoms provide catalytic sites to reduce CO2 into CO and then to CH4 to suppress H2 evolution; 2) H atoms improve the electron-trapping ability of cocatalysts; and 3) H atoms accelerate the reduction of CO to CH4 , which is the rate-limiting procedure in the conversion of CO2 into CH4 . Arising from the synergistic interplay between Pd-H and Cu-CO sites, C3 N4 -Pd9 Cu1 Hx (15 mg) achieves 100 % selectivity for CH4 production with an average rate of 0.018 μmol h-1 under visible-light irradiation. This work provides insights into the design of a cocatalyst for highly selective CO2 conversion through lattice engineering at atomic precision.

Abstract
Environmental and energy problems have drawn much attention owing to rapid population growth and accelerated economic development. For instance, photocatalysis, "a green technology", plays an important role in solar-energy conversion owing to its potential to solve energy and environmental problems. Recently, many efforts have been devoted to improving visible-light photocatalytic activity by using titanium dioxide as a photocatalyst as a result of its wide range of applications in the energy and environment fields. However, fast charge recombination and an absorption edge in the UV range limit the photocatalytic efficiency of TiO2 under visible-light irradiation. Many investigations have been undertaken to overcome the limitations of TiO2 and, therefore, to enhance its photocatalytic activity under visible light. The present literature review focuses on different strategies used to promote the separation efficiency of electron-hole pairs and to shift the absorption edge of TiO2 to the visible region. Current synthesis techniques used to elaborate several nanostructures of TiO2 -based materials, recent progress in enhancing visible photocatalytic activity, and different photocatalysis applications will be discussed. On the basis of the studies reported in the literature, we believe that this review will help in the development of new strategies to improve the visible-light photocatalytic performance of TiO2 -based materials further.

Abstract
Although they are widely used as cocatalysts in promoting photocatalysis, practical application of noble metals is limited by their high cost and rarity. Development of noble-metal-free cocatalysts is thus highly demanded. Herein titanium carbide (Ti3 C2 ) MXene is shown to be a highly efficient noble-metal-free cocatalyst with commercial titania (P25) for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Surface alkalinization of Ti3 C2 dramatically enhances the activity; the evolution rates of CO (11.74 μmol g-1 h-1 ) and CH4 (16.61 μmol g-1 h-1 ) are 3- and 277-times higher than those of bare P25, respectively. The significantly enhanced activity is attributed to the superior electrical conductivity and charge-carrier separation ability, as well as the abundant CO2 adsorption and activation sites of surface-alkalinized Ti3 C2 MXene, indicating its promise as a highly-active noble-metal-free cocatalysts for photocatalytic CO2 reduction.

Abstract
The chemical transformation of CO2 is an efficient approach in low-carbon energy system. The development of nonprecious metal catalysts with sufficient activity, selectivity, and stability for the generation of CO by CO2 reduction under mild conditions remains a major challenge. A hierarchical architecture catalyst composed of ultrathin graphene shells (2-4 layers) encapsulating homogeneous FeNi alloy nanoparticles shows enhance catalytic performance. Electron transfer from the encapsulated alloy can extend from the inner to the outer shell, resulting in an increased charge density on graphene. Nitrogen atom dopants can synergistically increase the electron density on the catalyst surface and modulate the adsorption capability for acidic CO2 molecules. The optimized FeNi3 @NG (NG=N-doped graphene) catalyst, with significant electron penetration through the graphene layer, effects exceptional CO2 conversion of 20.2 % with a CO selectivity of nearly 100 %, as well as excellent thermal stability at 523 K.

Abstract
It is highly attractive but challenging to develop earth-abundant electrocatalysts for energy-saving electrolytic hydrogen generation. Herein, we report that Ni2 P nanoarrays grown in situ on nickel foam (Ni2 P/NF) behave as a durable high-performance non-noble-metal electrocatalyst for hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR) in alkaline media. The replacement of the sluggish anodic oxygen evolution reaction with such the more thermodynamically favorable HzOR enables energy-saving electrochemical hydrogen production with the use of Ni2 P/NF as a bifunctional catalyst for anodic HzOR and cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction. When operated at room temperature, this two-electrode electrolytic system drives 500 mA cm-2 at a cell voltage as low as 1.0 V with strong long-term electrochemical durability and 100 % Faradaic efficiency for hydrogen evolution in 1.0 m KOH aqueous solution with 0.5 m hydrazine.

Abstract
Semiconducting heterostructures are emerging as promising light absorbers and offer effective electron-hole separation to drive solar chemistry. This technology relies on semiconductor composites or photoelectrodes that work in the presence of a redox mediator and that create cascade junctions to promote surface catalytic reactions. Rational tuning of their structures and compositions is crucial to fully exploit their functionality. In this review, we describe the possibilities of applying the two-photon concept to the field of solar fuels. A wide range of strategies including the indirect combination of two semiconductors by a redox couple, direct coupling of two semiconductors, multicomponent structures with a conductive mediator, related photoelectrodes, as well as two-photon cells are discussed for light energy harvesting and charge transport. Examples of charge extraction models from the literature are summarized to understand the mechanism of interfacial carrier dynamics and to rationalize experimental observations. We focus on a working principle of the constituent components and linking the photosynthetic activity with the proposed models. This work gives a new perspective on artificial photosynthesis by taking simultaneous advantages of photon absorption and charge transfer, outlining an encouraging roadmap towards solar fuels.
