Abstract
Coinage metal nanoparticles (NPs) enable plasmonic catalysis by generating hot carriers that drive chemical reactions. Making NPs porous enhances the adsorption of reactant molecules. We present a dewetting and dealloying strategy to fabricate porous gold nanoparticles (Au-Sponge) and compare their CO2photoreduction activity with respect to the conventional gold nanoisland (Au-Island) morphology. Porous gold nanoparticles exhibit an unusually broad and red-shifted plasmon resonance which is in agreement with the results of finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations. The key insight of this work is that the multi-step reduction of CO2driven by short-lived hot carriers generated by the d → s interband transition proceeds extremely quickly as evidenced by the generation of methane. A 3.8-fold enhancement in the photocatalytic performance is observed for the Au-Sponge in comparison to the Au-Island. Electrochemical cyclic voltammetry measurements confirm the 2.5-fold increase in the surface area and roughness factor of the Au-Sponge sample due to its porous nature. Our results indicate that the product yield is limited by the amount of surface adsorbates i.e. reactant-limited. Isotope-labeled mass spectrometry using13CO2was used to confirm that the reaction product (13CH4) originated from CO2photoreduction. We also present the plasmon-mediated photocatalytic transformation of 4-aminothiophenol (PATP) into p,p'-dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB) using Au-Sponge and Au-Island samples.

Abstract
One of the challenges in developing practical CO2 photoconversion catalysts is the design of materials with a low cost, high activity and good stability. In this paper, excellent photocatalysts based on TiO2, WO3, ZnO, Cu2O and CeO2 metal oxide materials, which are cost-effective, long-lasting, and easy to fabricate, are evaluated. The characteristics of the nanohybrid catalysts depend greatly on their architecture and design. Thus, we focus on outstanding materials that offer effective and practical solutions. Strategies to improve CO2 conversion efficiency are summarized, including heterojunction, ion doping, defects, sensitization and morphology control, which can inspire the future improvement in photochemistry. The capacity of CO2 adsorption is also pivotal, which varies with the morphological and electronic structures. Forms of 0D, 1D, 2D and 3DOM (zero/one/two-dimensional- and three-dimensional-ordered macroporous, respectively) are involved. Particularly, the several advantages of the 3DOM material make it an excellent candidate material for CO2 conversion. Hence, we explain its preparation method. Based on the discussion, new insights and prospects for designing high-efficient metallic oxide photocatalysts to reduce CO2 emissions are presented.

Abstract
In recent years, with global climate change, the utilization of carbon dioxide as a resource has become an important goal of human society to achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. Among them, the catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide to generate renewable fuels has received great attention. As one of these methods, photocatalysis has its unique properties and mechanism, which can only rely on sunlight without inputting other energy. It is an emerging discipline with great development prospects. The core of photocatalysis lies in the development of photocatalysts with high activity, high selectivity, low cost, and high durability. This review first introduces the background and mechanism of photocatalysis, then introduces various types of photocatalysts based on different substrates, and analyzes the methods and mechanisms to improve the activity and selectivity of photocatalysts. Finally, combining the plasmon effect with photocatalysis, the review analyzes the promoting effect of the plasmon effect on the photocatalytic carbon dioxide synthesis of renewable fuels, which provides a new idea for it.

Abstract
To realize excellent selectivity of CH4 in CO2 photoreduction (CO2 PR) is highly desirable, yet which is challenging due to the limited active sites for CH4 generation and severe electron-hole recombination on photocatalysts. Herein, based on the theoretically calculated effects of vanadium incorporation into the laminate of layered double hydroxides (LDHs), V into NiAl-LDH to synthesize a series of LDHs with various V contents is introduced. NiV-LDH is revealed to afford a high CH4 selectivity (78.9%), and extremely low H2 selectivity (only 0.4%) under λ > 400 nm irradiation. By further tuning the molar ratio of Ni to V, a CH4 selectivity of as high as 90.1% is achieved on Ni4 V-LDH, and H2 is completely prohibited on Ni2 V-LDH. Fine structural characterizations and comprehensive optical and electrochemical studies uncover V incorporation creates the lower-valence Ni species as active sites for generating CH4 , and enhances the generation, separation, and transfer of photogenerated carriers.

Abstract
The anthropogenic emission of CO2 in the environment affected our atmosphere, which caused a rapid change in the climate. It needs to reduce the excess CO2 from the environment to maintain sustainability and keep it green. In this work, we have fabricated a CdS decorated WO3 nanocomposite, improving the reduction ability of CO2 into CO and CH4 selectively in visible light. The construction of the heterojunction improved the stability of CdS with WO3. It synergistically resulted in ~7.7 times the higher yield of CO and 2.3 times the higher yield of CH4 than CdS using 20 wt% CdS decorated WO3 nanocomposite in a mixture of N,N-dimethylformamide, triethylamine, and water in a 3:1:1 ratio. The 20 wt% CdS on WO3 nanocomposite has proven an effective and selective photocatalyst with the relative yield of methanol up to four cycles. The nanocomposite photocatalysts were analyzed using instrumental techniques, such as XRD, XPS, HR-TEM, FTIR, TGA-DTA, UV-vis, PL spectroscopy, and PEC analysis.

Abstract
The development of WO3 based photocatalysts has gained considerable attention across the world, especially in the realm of environmental remediation and energy production. WO3 has a band gap of 2.5- 2.7 eV that falls under the visible region and is thus a potential candidate to utilize in various photocatalytic processes. As an earth-abundant metal oxide, WO3 discovered in 1976 displayed excellent electronic and morphological properties, good stability, and enhanced photoactivity with diverse crystal phases. Also, it unveils non-toxicity, high stability in drastic conditions, biocompatibility, low cost, excellent hole mobility (10 cm2 V-1s-1), and tunable band gap. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the different properties of WO3 inclusive of crystallographic, electrical, optical, thermoelectrical, and ferroelectric properties. The different morphologies of WO3 based on dimensions were obtained by adopting different fabrication methods including inspecting their effects on the efficiency of WO3. Numerous strategies to construct an ideal photocatalyst such as engineering crystal facets, surface defects, doping, heterojunction formation explaining specifically type-II, Z-scheme, and S-scheme mechanisms with addition to carbonaceous based WO3 nanocomposites are summed up to explore the photocatalytic performance. The typical application of WO3 is deliberated in detail involving the role and efficiency of WO3 in pollutant degradation, CO2 photoreduction, and water splitting. Besides, other applications of WO3 as gas-sensor, bio-sensor, decomposition of VOCs, heavy metals ions adsorption, and antimicrobial property are also included. Moreover, the numerous aspects responsible for the high efficiency of WO3-based nanocomposites with their challenges, opportunities, and future aspects are summarized. Hopefully, this review may inspire researchers to explore new ideas to boost the production of clean energy for the next generation.

Abstract
Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), characterized by their extreme toxicity, high persistency and bioaccumulation, regard as one of the most concerned environmental pollutants on the priority list. In this study, microwave-hydrothermal and photoreduction methods were adopted for fabrication of ternary Au@Fe/TiO2 composites for removal of 2,8-dichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,8-DCDD) under UV-Vis light irradiation. The acquired materials were characterized and analyzed by XRD, TEM, XPS, UV-Vis DRS, PL, etc. As a result, the 1%Au@1%Fe/TiO2 exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity that 96.3% of 2,8-DCDD was removed within 160 min with respect to that of Fe/TiO2 (3.0 times) and TiO2 (5.5 times). It revealed the active substances might be produced, which were verified by ESR analysis. In a comparison, the 1%Au@1%Fe/TiO2 also exhibited high activity in that 97.2% of 2,8-DCDD was removed within 240 min under an anoxic atmosphere. The 1%Au@1%Fe/TiO2 systems were all pH-dependent that 2,8-DCDD could be fully degraded in neutral conditions. The results of repeatability on 1%Au@1%Fe/TiO2 showed that the sample was high stability. Fe doping improved the charge separation of TiO2 and Au modification improved the activity via SPR effect and Mott-Schottky barrier. The degradation mechanisms and pathways were proposed and discussed in detail. The current work develops a new approach on photocatalytic oxidation and reductive dechlorination of dioxins and may open a new opportunity to extend the application range of TiO2 catalysts.

Abstract
Atmospheric pollution demands the development of solar-driven photocatalytic technologies for the conversion of CO2 into a fuel; state-of-the-art cocatalyst systems demonstrate conversion efficiencies currently unattainable by a single catalyst. Here, we upend the status quo demonstrating that the nanofibrillar conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is a record-breaking single catalyst for the photoreduction of CO2 to CO. This high catalytic efficiency stems from a highly conductive nanofibrillar structure that significantly enhances surface area, CO2 adsorption and light absorption. Moreover, the polymer's band gap is optimized via chemical doping/dedoping treatments using hydrochloric acid, ammonia hydroxide, and hydrazine. The hydrazine-treated PEDOT catalyst exhibits 100% CO yield under a stable regime (>10 h) with a maximum rate of CO evolution (3000 μmol gcat -1 h-1) that is 2 orders of magnitude higher than the top performing single catalyst and surpassed only by three other cocatalyst systems. Nanofibrillar PEDOT provides a new direction for designing the next generation of high-efficiency photoreduction catalysts.

Abstract
Cu/TiO2 is a well-known photocatalyst for the photocatalytic transformation of CO2 into methane. The formation of C2+ products such as ethane and ethanol rather than methane is more interesting due to their higher energy density and economic value, but the formation of C-C bonds is currently a major challenge in CO2 photoreduction. In this context, we report the dominant formation of a C2 product, namely, ethane, from the gas-phase photoreduction of CO2 using TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNTAs) decorated with large-sized (80-200 nm) Ag and Cu nanoparticles without the use of a sacrificial agent or hole scavenger. Isotope-labeled mass spectrometry was used to verify the origin and identity of the reaction products. Under 2 h AM1.5G 1-sun illumination, the total rate of hydrocarbon production (methane + ethane) was highest for AgCu-TNTA with a total CxH2x+2 rate of 23.88 μmol g-1 h-1. Under identical conditions, the CxH2x+2 production rates for Ag-TNTA and Cu-TNTA were 6.54 and 1.39 μmol g-1 h-1, respectively. The ethane selectivity was the highest for AgCu-TNTA with 60.7%, while the ethane selectivity was found to be 15.9 and 10% for the Ag-TNTA and Cu-TNTA, respectively. Adjacent adsorption sites in our photocatalyst develop an asymmetric charge distribution due to quadrupole resonances in large metal nanoparticles and multipole resonances in Ag-Cu heterodimers. Such an asymmetric charge distribution decreases adsorbate-adsorbate repulsion and facilitates C-C coupling of reaction intermediates, which otherwise occurs poorly in TNTAs decorated with small metal nanoparticles.

Abstract
This study investigated the impact of molar ratio of CO2 to reductants H2O and H2, as well as Pd loading weight on CO2 reduction performance with Pd/TiO2 as the photocatalyst. The Pd/TiO2 film photocatalyst is prepared by the sol-gel and dip-coating process to prepare TiO2 film and the pulse arc plasma method is used to dope Pd on TiO2 film. The prepared Pd/TiO2 film was characterized by SEM, EPMA, STEM, EDS, and EELS. This study also investigated the performance of CO2 reduction under the illumination condition of Xe lamp with or without ultraviolet (UV) light. As a result, it is revealed that when the molar ratio of CO2/H2/H2O is set at 1:0.5:0.5, the best CO2 reduction performance has been obtained under the illumination condition of Xe lamp with and without UV light. In addition, it is found that the optimum Pd loading weight is 3.90 wt%. The maximum molar quantities of CO and CH4 produced per unit weight of photocatalyst are 30.3 μmol/g and 22.1 μmol/g, respectively, for the molar ratio of CO2/H2/H2O = 1:0.5:0.5 under the condition of Xe lamp illumination with UV light. With UV light, C2H4 and C2H6, as well as CO and CH4 are also produced by the Pd/TiO2 film photocatalyst prepared in this study.

Abstract
To explore the photocatalytic performances and optoelectronic properties of pure and doped bismuth oxyhalides D-doped BiOX (D = Ag, Pd; X = F, Cl, Br, I) compounds, their atomic properties, electronic structures, and optical properties were systematically investigated using first-principles calculations. In previous experiments, the BiOX (X = Cl, Br) based system has been observed with enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity driven by the Ag dopant. Our calculations also show that the potential photocatalytic performance of Ag-doped BiOCl or BiOBr systems is enhanced greatly under visible light, compared with other Pd-doped BiOX (X = Cl, Br) compounds. Furthermore, it is intriguing to find that the Pd-doped BiOF compound has strong absorption over the infrared and visible light spectrum, which may offer an effective strategy for a promising full spectrum catalyst. Indicated by various Mulliken charge distributions and different impurity states in the gap when Ag or Pd was doped in the BiOX compounds, we notice that all D-doped BiOXs exhibit a p-type semiconductor, and all impurity levels originated from the D-4d state. The charge transfer, optoelectronic properties, and absorption coefficients for photocatalytic activities among D-doped BiOX photocatalysts caused by the electronegativity difference of halide elements and metal atoms will finally affect the photocatalytic activity of doped BiOX systems. Therefore, it is significant to understand the inside physical mechanism of the enhanced Ag/Pd-doped BiOX photocatalysts through density functional theory.
