Abstract
Metal halide perovskites (MHP) emerged as highly promising materials for photocatalysis, offering significant advancements in the degradation of soluble and airborne pollutants, as well as the transformation of functional organic compounds. This comprehensive review focuses on recent developments in MHP-based photocatalysts, specifically examining two major categories: lead-based (such as CsPbBr3) and lead-free variants (e.g. Cs2AgBiX6, Cs3Bi2Br9 and others). While the review briefly discusses the contributions of MHPs to hydrogen (H2) production and carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction, the main emphasis is on the design principles that determine the effectiveness of perovskites in facilitating organic reactions and degrading hazardous chemicals through oxidative transformations. Furthermore, the review addresses the key factors that influence the catalytic efficiency of perovskites, including charge recombination, reaction mechanisms involving free radicals, hydroxyl ions, and other ions, as well as phase transformation and solvent compatibility. By offering a comprehensive overview, this review aims to serve as a guide for the design of MHP-based photocatalysis and shed light on the common challenges faced by the scientific community in the domain of organic transformations.

Abstract
Herein, we successfully prepare conductive polyaniline (PANI)-encapsulated CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) that demonstrate much improved photocatalytic performance and stability toward the CO2 reduction reaction (CRR) coupled with oxidation of benzyl alcohol (BA) to benzaldehyde. Due to the acid-base interaction between CO2 and PANI, CO2 molecules are selectively adsorbed on PANI in the form of carbamate. As a result, the rate of production of CO (rCO) reaches 26.1 μmol g-1 h-1 with a selectivity of 98.1%, which is in good agreement with the rate of oxidation (∼27.0 μmol g-1 h-1) of BA. Such a high reduction/oxidation rate is enabled by the fast electron transfer (∼2.2 ps) from PNCs to PANI, as revealed by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Moreover, because of the benefit of the encapsulation of PANI, no significant decrease in rCO is observed in a 10 h CRR test. This work offers insight into how to simultaneously achieve improved photocatalytic performance and stability of CsPbX3 PNCs.

Abstract
Photocatalysis opens a new door to H2O2 formation via a low-cost, clean, mild, and sustainable process, which holds great promise for the next generation of massive H2O2 production. However, fast photogenerated electron-hole recombination and slow reaction kinetics are the main obstacles for its practical application. An effective solution is to construct the step-scheme (S-scheme) heterojunction, which remarkably promotes carrier separation and boosts the redox power for efficient photocatalytic H2O2 production. Considering the superiority of S-scheme heterojunctions, this Perspective summarizes the recent advances of S-scheme photocatalysts for H2O2 production, including photocatalysts for building S-scheme heterojunctions, H2O2-production performance, and S-scheme photocatalytic mechanisms. Lastly, some prospects are given to motivate future research in this promising field, other promising strategies are provided to further improve H2O2 yields, and future research directions are suggested.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskite materials have great potential for photocatalytic reaction due to their low fabrication cost, unique optical absorption coefficient, and suitable band structures. However, the main problems are the toxicity and instability of the lead halide perovskite materials. Therefore, a facile synthetic method is used to prepare lead-free environmentally friendly Cs2 TiX6 (X = Cl, Cl0.5 Br0.5 , Br) perovskite materials. Their structural and optical characteristics are systematically investigated. The band gaps of the produced samples are illustrated to be from 1.87 to 2.73 eV. Moreover, these materials can keep high stability in harsh environments such as illumination and heating, and the Cs2 Ti(Cl0.5 Br0.5 )6 microcrystals demonstrate the yields of 176 µmol g-1 for CO and 78.9 µmol g-1 for CH4 after light irradiation for 3 h, which is of the first report of Ti-based perovskite photocatalysts. This finding demonstrates that the Ti-based perovskites will create opportunities for photocatalytic applications, which may offer a new idea to construct low-cost, eco-friendly, and bio-friendly photocatalysts.

Abstract
Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (fs-TAS) is a powerful technique for monitoring the electron transfer kinetics in photocatalysis. Several important works have successfully elucidated the electron transfer mechanism in heterojunction photocatalysts (HPs) using fs-TAS measurements, and thus a timely summary of recent advances is essential. This feature article starts with a thorough interpretation of the operating principle of fs-TAS equipment, and the fundamentals of the fs-TAS spectra. Subsequently, the applications of fs-TAS in analyzing the dynamics of photogenerated carriers in semiconductor/metal HPs, semiconductor/carbon HPs, semiconductor/semiconductor HPs, and multicomponent HPs are discussed in sequence. Finally, the significance of fs-TAS in revealing the ultrafast interfacial electron transfer process in HPs is summarized, and further research on the applications of fs-TAS in photocatalysis is proposed. This feature article will provide deep insight into the mechanism of the enhanced photocatalytic performance of HPs from the perspective of electron transfer kinetics.

Abstract
Femtosecond transient absorption spectral (TAS) investigations were performed to understand the carrier relaxation mechanism for perovskite nanocrystals Cs1-xFAxPbBr3 (CF, x = 0.45) and CsPbBr3 (CS), which served as efficient photocatalysts for splitting of CO2 into CO and O2 in the absence of water. Upon light irradiation for 12 h, formation of deep trap states was found for both CS and CF samples with spectral characteristics of the TAS photobleach (PB) band showing a long spectral tail extending to the long wavelength region. The charge recombination rates at the shallow surface states, bulk states, and deep-trapped surface state were found to be significantly retarded for the CF sample than for the CS sample, in agreement with the photocatalytic performances for CO product yields of the CF catalyst being greater by a factor of 3 compared to those of the CS catalyst.
