Abstract
Developing artificial leaves to address the environmental burden of CO2 is pivotal for advancing our Net Zero Future. In this study, we introduce EcoLeaf, an artificial leaf that closely mimics the characteristics of natural leaves. It harnesses visible light as its sole energy source and orchestrates the controlled expansion and contraction of stomata and the exchange of petiole materials to govern the rate of CO2 sequestration from the atmosphere. Furthermore, EcoLeaf has a cellulose composition and mechanical strength similar to those of natural leaves, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into the ecosystem during use and participate in natural degradation and nutrient cycling processes at the end of its life. We propose that the carbon sequestration pathway within EcoLeaf is adaptable and can serve as a versatile biomimetic platform for diverse biogenic carbon sequestration pathways in the future.

Abstract
Elevated levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and the diminishing reserves of fossil fuels have raised profound concerns regarding the resulting consequences of global climate change and the future supply of energy. Hence, the reduction and transformation of CO2 not only mitigates environmental pollution but also generates value-added chemicals, providing a dual remedy to address both energy and environmental challenges. Despite notable advancements, the low conversion efficiency of CO2 remains a major obstacle, largely attributed to its inert chemical nature. It is imperative to engineer catalysts/materials that exhibit high conversion efficiency, selectivity, and stability for CO2 transformation. With unparalleled precision at the atomic level, atomic layer deposition (ALD) and molecular layer deposition (MLD) methods utilize various strategies, including ultrathin modification, overcoating, interlayer coating, area-selective deposition, template-assisted deposition, and sacrificial-layer-assisted deposition, to synthesize numerous novel metal-based materials with diverse structures. These materials, functioning as active materials, passive materials or modifiers, have contributed to the enhancement of catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability, effectively addressing the challenges linked to CO2 transformation. Herein, this review focuses on ALD and MLD's role in fabricating materials for electro-, photo-, photoelectro-, and thermal catalytic CO2 reduction, CO2 capture and separation, and electrochemical CO2 sensing. Significant emphasis is dedicated to the ALD and MLD designed materials, their crucial role in enhancing performance, and exploring the relationship between their structures and catalytic activities for CO2 transformation. Finally, this comprehensive review presents the summary, challenges and prospects for ALD and MLD-designed materials for CO2 transformation.

Abstract
Solar-driven carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion including photocatalytic (PC), photoelectrochemical (PEC), photovoltaic plus electrochemical (PV/EC) systems, offers a renewable and scalable way to produce fuels and high-value chemicals for environment and energy sustainability. This review summarizes the basic fundament and the recent advances in the field of solar-driven CO2 conversion. Expanding the visible-light absorption is an important strategy to improve solar energy conversion efficiency. The separation and migration of photogenerated charges carriers to surface sites and the surface catalytic processes also determine the photocatalytic performance. Surface engineering including co-catalyst loading, defect engineering, morphology control, surface modification, surface phase junction, and Z-scheme photocatalytic system construction, have become fundamental strategies to obtain high-efficiency photocatalysts. Similar to photocatalysis, these strategies have been applied to improve the conversion efficiency and Faradaic efficiency of typical PEC systems. In PV/EC systems, the electrode surface structure and morphology, electrolyte effects, and mass transport conditions affect the activity and selectivity of electrochemical CO2 reduction. Finally, the challenges and prospects are addressed for the development of solar-driven CO2 conversion system with high energy conversion efficiency, high product selectivity and stability.

Abstract
The adverse environmental impacts of greenhouse gas emissions and persistent waste accumulation are driving the demand for sustainable approaches to clean-energy production and waste recycling. By coupling the thermodynamically favourable oxidation of waste-derived organic carbon streams with fuel-forming reduction reactions suitable for producing clean hydrogen or converting CO2 to fuels, solar reforming simultaneously valorizes waste and generates useful chemical products. With appropriate light harvesting, catalyst design, device configurations and waste pre-treatment strategies, a range of sustainable fuels and value-added chemicals can already be selectively produced from diverse waste feedstocks, including biomass and plastics, demonstrating the potential of solar-powered upcycling plants. This Review highlights solar reforming as an emerging technology that is currently transitioning from fundamental research towards practical application. We investigate the chemistry and compatibility of waste pre-treatment, introduce process classifications, explore the mechanisms of different solar reforming technologies, and suggest appropriate concepts, metrics and pathways for various deployment scenarios in a net-zero-carbon future.

Abstract
We report a precious-metal-free molecular catalyst-based photocathode that is active for aqueous CO2 reduction to CO and methanol. The photoelectrode is composed of cobalt phthalocyanine molecules anchored on graphene oxide which is integrated via a (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane linker to p-type silicon protected by a thin film of titanium dioxide. The photocathode reduces CO2 to CO with high selectivity at potentials as mild as 0 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode (vs RHE). Methanol production is observed at an onset potential of -0.36 V vs RHE, and reaches a peak turnover frequency of 0.18 s-1 . To date, this is the only molecular catalyst-based photoelectrode that is active for the six-electron reduction of CO2 to methanol. This work puts forth a strategy for interfacing molecular catalysts to p-type semiconductors and demonstrates state-of-the-art performance for photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction to CO and methanol.

Abstract
Metal oxide semiconductors have been regarded as ideal candidates for photoelectrochemical (PEC) CO2 reduction if the contradiction between photon harvesting and photocarrier collection can be resolved. The novel three-dimensional structure provides an available approach to balancing the above-mentioned contradiction. In this work, CuBi2O4 photonic crystal photocathodes with different feature sizes were developed to realize the regulation of optoelectrical properties. The resulted photocathode displays promoted PEC activity as the enhanced photocurrent and CO2 reduction activity. Such an excellent performance was attributed to the improved efficiency of charge carrier generation and collection through extending the optical path and shortening the carrier transport distance inside films. COMSOL simulations and PEC spectroscopy analysis confirmed the promoted photon harvesting capacity and carrier dynamics. This work demonstrates a feasible strategy for developing novel photocathodes with modulated microstructures in solar-fuel conversion.

Abstract
Photoredox catalysis under visible light has been recorded as a potential and reassuring recipe for organic synthesis. More and more heterojunction catalysts have appeared in people's fields of vision, especially those with S-scheme heterojunction structures. The S-scheme heterojunction structure of a photocatalyst can remarkably improve its photocatalytic efficiency. Here, an S-scheme α-Fe2O3/Cu2O heterojunction photocatalyst was designed and fabricated for the primary amine oxidative coupling reaction. On account of that, the S-scheme structure effectively separated the photogenerated electron-hole pairs and enhanced the photoredox ability of the photocatalytic system. The α-Fe2O3/Cu2O composite could also enhance the reactivity to a large extent. This work will provide new insight into the design of photocatalysts with a more reasonable structure and higher performance.

Abstract
With the rising level of atmospheric CO2 worsening climate change, a promising global movement toward carbon neutrality is forming. Sustainable CO2 management based on carbon capture and utilization (CCU) has garnered considerable interest due to its critical role in resolving emission-control and energy-supply challenges. Here, a comprehensive review is presented that summarizes the state-of-the-art progress in developing promising materials for sustainable CO2 management in terms of not only capture, catalytic conversion (thermochemistry, electrochemistry, photochemistry, and possible combinations), and direct utilization, but also emerging integrated capture and in situ conversion as well as artificial-intelligence-driven smart material study. In particular, insights that span multiple scopes of material research are offered, ranging from mechanistic comprehension of reactions, rational design and precise manipulation of key materials (e.g., carbon nanomaterials, metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, zeolites, ionic liquids), to industrial implementation. This review concludes with a summary and new perspectives, especially from multiple aspects of society, which summarizes major difficulties and future potential for implementing advanced materials and technologies in sustainable CO2 management. This work may serve as a guideline and road map for developing CCU material systems, benefiting both scientists and engineers working in this growing and potentially game-changing area.

Abstract
Photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction utilizing silicon-based photocathodes offers a promising route to directly store solar energy in chemical bonds, provoking the development of heterogeneous molecular catalysts with high turnover rates. Herein, an in situ surface transformation strategy is adopted to grow metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) on Si-based photocathodes, serving as catalytic scaffolds for boosting both the kinetics and selectivity of CO2 reduction. Benefitting from the multi-junctional configuration for enhanced charge separation and the porous MOF scaffold enriching redox-active metalloporphyrin sites, the Si photocathode demonstrates a high CO faradaic efficiency of 87% at a photocurrent density of 10.2 mA cm-2, which is among the best seen for heterogeneous molecular catalysts. This study highlights the exploitation of reticular chemistry and macrocycle complexes as Earth-abundant alternatives for catalyzing artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
Photoelectrochemical reduction of CO2 is a promising approach for renewable fuel production. We herein report a novel strategy for preparation of hybrid photocathodes by immobilizing molecular cobalt catalysts on TiO2 -protected n+ -p Si electrodes (Si|TiO2 ) coated with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by π-π stacking. Upon loading a composite of CoII (BrqPy) (BrqPy=4',4''-bis(4-bromophenyl)-2,2' : 6',2'' : 6'',2'''-quaterpyridine) catalyst and CNT on Si|TiO2 , a stable 1-Sun photocurrent density of -1.5 mA cm-2 was sustained over 2 h in a neutral aqueous solution with unity Faradaic efficiency and selectivity for CO production at a bias of zero overpotential (-0.11 V vs. RHE), associated with a turnover frequency (TOFCO ) of 2.7 s-1 . Extending the photoelectrocatalysis to 10 h, a remarkable turnover number (TONCO ) of 57000 was obtained. The high performance shown here is substantially improved from the previously reported photocathodes relying on covalently anchored catalysts.

Abstract
The synthesis of organic chemicals from H2O and CO2 using solar energy is important for recycling CO2 through cyclical use of chemical ingredients produced from CO2 or molecular energy carriers based on CO2. Similar to photosynthesis in plants, the CO2 molecules are reduced by electrons and protons, which are extracted from H2O molecules, to produce O2. This reaction is uphill; therefore, the solar energy is stored as the chemical bonding energy in the organic molecules. This artificial photosynthetic technology mimicking green vegetation should be implemented as a self-standing system for on-site direct solar energy storage that supports CO2 recycling in a circular economy. Herein, we explain our interdisciplinary fusion methodology to develop hybrid photocatalysts and photoelectrodes for an artificial photosynthetic system for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) in aqueous solutions. The key factor for the system is the integration of uniquely different functions of molecular transition-metal complexes and solid semiconductors. A metal complex catalyst and a semiconductor appropriate for a CO2RR and visible-light absorption, respectively, are linked, and they function complementary way to catalyze CO2RR under visible-light irradiation as a particulate photocatalyst dispersion in solution. It has also been proven that Ru complexes with bipyridine ligands can catalyze a CO2RR as photocathodes when they are linked with various semiconductor surfaces, such as those of doped tantalum oxides, doped iron oxides, indium phosphides, copper-based sulfides, selenides, silicon, and others. These photocathodes can produce formate and carbon monoxide using electrons and protons extracted from water through potential-matched connections with photoanodes such as TiO2 or SrTiO3 for oxygen evolution reactions (OERs). Benefiting from the very low overpotential of an aqueous CO2RR at metal complexes approaching the theoretical lower limit, the semiconductor/molecule hybrid system demonstrates a single tablet-formed monolithic electrode called "artificial leaf." This single electrode device can generate formate (HCOO-) from H2O and CO2 in a water-filled single-compartment reactor without requiring a separation membrane under unassisted or bias-free conditions, either electrically or chemically. The reaction proceeds with a stoichiometric electron/hole ratio and stores solar energy with a solar-to-chemical energy conversion efficiency of 4.6%, which exceeds that of plants. In this Account, the key results that marked our milestones in technological progress of the semiconductor/molecule hybrid photosystem are concisely explained. These results include design, proof of the principle, and understanding of the phenomena by time-resolved spectroscopies, synchrotron radiation analyses, and DFT calculations. These results enable us to address challenges toward further scientific progress and the social implementation, including the use of earth-abundant elements and the scale-up of the solar-driven CO2RR system.

Abstract
![]()
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction is a critical objective
in the field of artificial photosynthesis because it can potentially
make a total solution for global warming and shortage of energy and
carbon resources. We have successfully developed various highly efficient,
stable, and selective photocatalytic systems for CO2 reduction
using transition metal complexes as both photosensitizers and catalysts.
The molecular architectures for constructing selective and efficient
photocatalytic systems for CO2 reduction are discussed
herein. As a typical example, a mixed system of a ring-shaped Re(I)
trinuclear complex as a photosensitizer and fac-[Re(bpy)(CO)3{OC2H4N(C2H4OH)2}] as a catalyst selectively photocatalyzed CO2 reduction to CO with the highest quantum yield of 82% and a turnover
number (TON) of over 600. Not only rare and noble metals but also
earth abundant ones, such as Mn(I), Cu(I), and Fe(II) can be used
as central metal cations. In the case using a Cu(I) dinuclear complex
as a photosensitizer and fac-Mn(bpy)(CO)3Br as a catalyst, the total formation quantum yield of CO and HCOOH
from CO2 was 57% and TONCO+HCOOH exceeded 1300. Efficient supramolecular photocatalysts for CO2 reduction,
in which photosensitizer and catalyst units are connected through
a bridging ligand, were developed for removing a diffusion control
on collisions between a photosensitizer and a catalyst. Supramolecular
photocatalysts, in which [Ru(N∧N)3]2+-type photosensitizer and Re(I) or Ru(II) catalyst units
are connected to each other with an alkyl chain, efficiently and selectively
photocatalyzed CO2 reduction in solutions. Mechanistic
studies using time-resolved IR and electrochemical measurements provided
molecular architecture for constructing efficient supramolecular photocatalysts.
A Ru(II)–Re(I) supramolecular photocatalyst constructed according
to this molecular architecture efficiently photocatalyzed CO2 reduction even when it was fixed on solid materials. Harnessing
this property of the supramolecular photocatalysts, two types of hybrid
photocatalytic systems were developed, namely, photocatalysts with
light-harvesting capabilities and photoelectrochemical systems for
CO2 reduction. Introduction of light-harvesting capabilities
into molecular photocatalytic
systems should be important because the intensity of solar light shone
on the earth’s surface is relatively low. Periodic mesoporous
organosilica, in which methyl acridone groups are embedded in the
silica framework as light harvesters, was combined with a Ru(II)–Re(I)
supramolecular photocatalyst with phosphonic acid anchoring groups.
In this hybrid, the photons absorbed by approximately 40 methyl acridone
groups were transferred to one Ru(II) photosensitizer unit, and then,
the photocatalytic CO2 reduction commenced. To use
water as an abundant electron donor, we developed hybrid
photocatalytic systems combining metal-complex photocatalysts with
semiconductor photocatalysts that display high photooxidation powers,
in which two photons are sequentially absorbed by the metal-complex
photosensitizer and the semiconductor, resulting in both high oxidation
and reduction power. Various types of dye-sensitized molecular photocathodes
comprising the p-type semiconductor electrodes and the supramolecular
photocatalysts were developed. Full photoelectrochemical cells combining
these dye-sensitized molecular photocathodes and n-type semiconductor
photoanodes achieved CO2 reduction using only visible light
as the energy source and water as the reductant. Drastic improvement
of dye-sensitized molecular photocathodes is reported. The results
presented in this Account clearly indicate that we
can construct very efficient, selective, and durable photocatalytic
systems constructed with the metal-complex photosensitizers and catalysts.
The supramolecular-photocatalyst architecture in which the photosensitizer
and the catalyst are connected to each other is useful especially
on the surface of solid owing to rapid electron transfer from the
photosensitizer to the catalyst. On basis of these findings, we successfully
constructed hybrid systems of the supramolecular photocatalysts with
photoactive solid materials. These hybridizations can add new functions
to the metal-complex photocatalytic systems, such as water oxidation
and light harvesting.

Abstract
Photoinduced chemical transformations have received in recent years a tremendous amount of attention, providing a plethora of opportunities to synthetic organic chemists. However, performing a photochemical transformation can be quite a challenge because of various issues related to the delivery of photons. These challenges have barred the widespread adoption of photochemical steps in the chemical industry. However, in the past decade, several technological innovations have led to more reproducible, selective, and scalable photoinduced reactions. Herein, we provide a comprehensive overview of these exciting technological advances, including flow chemistry, high-throughput experimentation, reactor design and scale-up, and the combination of photo- and electro-chemistry.

Abstract
The photo-driven reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) into green and valuable solar fuels could be a promising solution to simultaneously address energy- and environmental-related problems. This approach could play an integral role in achieving a sustainable energy economy by closing the carbon cycle and allowing the storage and transportation of intermittent solar energy within the chemical bonds of hydrocarbon molecules. This Perspective discusses the latest technological advancements in photo-driven CO2 conversion via various pathways, namely photocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis and photovoltaic-integrated systems. In addition to providing an outlook on unresolved issues concerning the said technologies, this Perspective also spotlights new trends and strategies in the structural engineering of materials to meet the demands for prominent CO2 photoreduction activity as well as spearhead the ground-breaking advances in the field that lead to the translation of CO2 photo-driven technologies from the laboratory to industrial-scale applications.

Abstract
The development of systems for photocatalytic CO2 reduction with water as a reductant and solar light as an energy source is one of the most important milestones on the way to artificial photosynthesis. Although such reduction can be performed using dye-sensitized molecular photocathodes comprising metal complexes as redox photosensitizers and catalyst units fixed on a p-type semiconductor electrode, the performance of the corresponding photoelectrochemical cells remains low, e.g., their highest incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) equals 1.2%. Herein, we report a novel dye-sensitized molecular photocathode for photocatalytic CO2 reduction in water featuring a polypyrrole layer, [Ru(diimine)3]2+ as a redox photosensitizer unit, and Ru(diimine)(CO)2Cl2 as the catalyst unit and reveal that the incorporation of the polypyrrole network significantly improves reactivity and durability relative to those of previously reported dye-sensitized molecular photocathodes. The irradiation of the novel photocathode with visible light under low applied bias stably induces the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO and HCOOH with high faradaic efficiency and selectivity (even in aqueous solution), and the highest IPCE is determined as 4.7%. The novel photocathode is coupled with n-type semiconductor photoanodes (CoO x /BiVO4 and RhO x /TaON) to construct full cells that photocatalytically reduce CO2 using water as the reductant upon visible light irradiation as the only energy input at zero bias. The artificial Z-scheme photoelectrochemical cell with the dye-sensitized molecular photocathode achieves the highest energy conversion efficiency of 8.3 × 10-2% under the irradiation of both electrodes with visible light, while a solar to chemical conversion efficiency of 4.2 × 10-2% is achieved for a tandem-type cell using a solar light simulator (AM 1.5, 100 mW cm-2).

Abstract
A semiconductor-metal-complex hybrid photocatalyst was previously reported for CO2 reduction; this photocatalyst is composed of nitrogen-doped Ta2 O5 as a semiconductor photosensitizer and a Ru complex as a CO2 reduction catalyst, operating under visible light (>400 nm), with high selectivity for HCOOH formation of more than 75 %. The electron transfer from a photoactive semiconductor to the metal-complex catalyst is a key process for photocatalytic CO2 reduction with hybrid photocatalysts. Herein, the excited-state dynamics of several hybrid photocatalysts are described by using time-resolved emission and infrared absorption spectroscopies to understand the mechanism of electron transfer from a semiconductor to the metal-complex catalyst. The results show that electron transfer from the semiconductor to the metal-complex catalyst does not occur directly upon photoexcitation, but that the photoexcited electron transfers to a new excited state. On the basis of the present results and previous reports, it is suggested that the excited state is a charge-transfer state located between shallow defects of the semiconductor and the metal-complex catalyst.

Abstract
The development of CO2-reduction photocatalysts is one of the main targets in the field of artificial photosynthesis. Recently, numerous hybrid systems in which supramolecular photocatalysts comprised of a photosensitizer and catalytic-metal-complex units are immobilized on inorganic solid materials, such as semiconductors or mesoporous organosilica, have been reported as CO2-reduction photocatalysts for various functions, including water oxidation and light harvesting. In the present study, we investigated the photocatalytic properties of supramolecular photocatalysts comprised of a Ru(II)-complex photosensitizer and a Re(I)-complex catalyst fixed on the surface of insulating Al2O3 particles: the distance among the supramolecular photocatalyst molecules should be fixed. Visible-light irradiation of the photocatalyst in the presence of an electron donor under a CO2 atmosphere produced CO selectively. Although CO formation was also observed for a 1:1 mixture of mononuclear Ru(II) and Re(I) complexes attached to an Al2O3 surface, the photocatalytic activity was much lower. The activity of the Al2O3-supported photocatalyst was strongly dependent on the adsorption density of the supramolecular moiety, where the initial rate of photocatalytic CO formation was faster at lower density and higher photocatalyst durability was achieved at higher density. One of the main reasons for the former phenomenon is the decreased quenching fraction of the excited state of the photosensitizer unit by the reductant dissolved in the solution phase in the case of higher density. This is due to the self-quenching of the excited photosensitizer unit and steric hindrance between the condensed supramolecular photocatalyst molecules attached to the surface. The higher durability of the more condensed system is caused by intermolecular electron transfer between reduced supramolecular photocatalyst molecules, which accelerates the formation of CO in the photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Coadsorption of a Ru(II) mononuclear complex as a redox photosensitizer could drastically reinforce the photocatalysis of the supramolecular photocatalyst on the surface of the Al2O3 particles: more than 10 times higher turnover number and about 3.4 times higher turnover frequency of CO formation. These investigations provide new architectures for the construction of efficient and durable hybrid photocatalytic systems for CO2 reduction, which are composed of metal-complex photocatalysts and solid materials.

Abstract
Hybridization of homogeneous catalytic sites with a photoelectrode is an attractive approach to highly selective and tunable photocatalysis using heterogeneous platforms. However, weak and unclear surface chemistry often leads to the dissociation and irregular orientation of catalytic centers, restricting long-term usability with high selectivity. Well-defined and robust ligands that can persist under harsh photocatalytic conditions are essential for the success of hybrid-type photocatalysis. Here, we introduce N-heterocyclic carbene as a durable linker for the immobilization of a Rubpy complex-based CO2 reduction site (cis-dichloro-(4,4'-diphosphonato-Rubpy)(p-cymene) (RuCY)) on a p-type gallium nitride/gold nanoparticle (p-GaN/AuNP) heterostructure. The p-GaN/AuNPs/RuCY photocathode was coupled with a hematite photoanode to drive photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction along with water oxidation. Highly selective CO2 reduction into formates, up to 98.2%, was achieved utilizing plasmonic hot electrons accumulated on AuNPs. The turnover frequency was 1.46 min-1 with a faradic efficiency of 96.8% under visible light illumination (243 mW·cm-2). This work demonstrates that the N-heterocyclic carbene-mediated surface functionalization with homogeneous catalytic sites is a promising approach to increase the sustainability and usability of hybrid catalysts.

Abstract
Earth-abundant Fe, Ni, and Co aza macrocyclic and polypyridine complexes have been thoroughly investigated for CO2 electrochemical and visible-light-driven reduction. Since the first reports in the 1970s, an enormous body of work has been accumulated regarding the two-electron two-proton reduction of the gas, along with mechanistic and spectroscopic efforts to rationalize the reactivity and establish guidelines for structure-reactivity relationships. The ability to fine tune the ligand structure and the almost unlimited possibilities of designing new complexes have led to highly selective and efficient catalysts. Recent efforts toward developing hybrid systems upon combining molecular catalysts with conductive or semi-conductive materials have converged to high catalytic performances in water solutions, to the inclusion of these catalysts into CO2 electrolyzers and photo-electrochemical devices, and to the discovery of catalytic pathways beyond two electrons. Combined with the continuous mechanistic efforts and new developments for in situ and in operando spectroscopic studies, molecular catalysis of CO2 reduction remains a highly creative approach.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis is a vibrant field of research aiming at converting abundant, low energy molecules such as water, nitrogen or carbon dioxide into fuels or useful chemicals by means of solar energy input. Photo-electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide is an appealing strategy, aiming at reducing the greenhouse gas into valuable products such as carbon monoxide at low or without bias voltage. Yet, in such configuration, there is no catalytic system able to produce carbon monoxide selectively in aqueous media with high activity, and using earth-abundant molecular catalyst. Upon associating a p-type Cu(In,Ga)Se2 semi-conductor with cobalt quaterpyridine complex, we herein report a photocathode complying with the aforementioned requirements. Pure carbon dioxide dissolved in aqueous solution (pH 6.8) is converted to carbon monoxide under visible light illumination with partial current density above 3 mA cm-2 and 97% selectivity, showing good stability over time.

Abstract
Green plants convert sunlight into high-energy chemicals by coupling solar-driven water oxidation in the Z-scheme and CO2 fixation in the Calvin cycle. In this study, formate dehydrogenase from Clostridium ljungdahlii (ClFDH) is interfaced with a TiO2 -coated CuFeO2 and CuO mixed (ClFDH-TiO2 |CFO) electrode. In this biohybrid photocathode, the TiO2 layer enhances the photoelectrochemical (PEC) stability of the labile CFO photocathode and facilitates the transfer of photoexcited electrons from the CFO to ClFDH. Furthermore, inspired by the natural photosynthetic scheme, the photobiocathode is combined with a water-oxidizing, FeOOH-coated BiVO4 (FeOOH|BiVO4 ) photoanode to assemble a wireless Z-scheme biocatalytic PEC device as a semi-artificial leaf. The leaf-like structure effects a bias-free biocatalytic CO2 -to-formate conversion under visible light. Its rate of formate production is 2.45 times faster than that without ClFDH. This work is the first example of a wireless solar-driven semi-biological PEC system for CO2 reduction that uses water as an electron feedstock.

Abstract
Modified hybrid structures of TiO2 nanotubes (TONT), p-Al doped TONT/n-TONT with an additional overlayer of alumina, are constructed to achieve 99.57% photodegradation of the stable organic pollutant methylene blue (MB) within 180 min, a degradation rate 17 times higher than pure TONTs. The anodization at three different temperatures 2, 28 and 40 °C followed by impregnation of Al is used for their preparation. The analyses of structure, chemical composition and morphology are completed using x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and high resolution transmission microscopy, respectively, Rutherford back scattering and field emission scanning electron microscopy confirm the formation of the hybrid structure. This structure exhibits the highest photodegradation rate with TONT based catalysts to date for MB blue, by enhancing the electron-hole separation, the absorption of visible photons and the adsorption sites for the pollutant. The optical data coupled with valence band XPS is used for elucidating the energy band structure of the p-n junctions and to gain insight into the effect of the junction mechanism on photoactivity. The rectification ratios of the impregnated p-n junctions, determined by current-voltage measurements, are found to vary from 102 to 106.

Abstract
![]()
Heterogenization
of RuL3 complexes on a support with
proper anchor points provides a route toward design of green catalysts.
In this paper, Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes are investigated with
the aim to unravel the influence on the photocatalytic properties
of varying nitrogen content in the ligands and of embedding the complex
in a triazine-based covalent organic framework. To provide fundamental
insight into the electronic mechanisms underlying this behavior, a
computational study is performed. Both the ground and excited state
properties of isolated and anchored ruthenium complexes are theoretically
investigated by means of density functional theory and time-dependent
density functional theory. Varying the ligands among 2,2′-bipyridine,
2,2′-bipyrimidine, and 2,2′-bipyrazine allows us to
tune to a certain extent the optical gaps and the metal to ligand
charge transfer excitations. Heterogenization of the complex within
a CTF support has a significant effect on the nature and energy of
the electronic transitions. The allowed transitions are significantly
red-shifted toward the near IR region and involve transitions from
states localized on the CTF toward ligands attached to the ruthenium.
The study shows how variations in ligands and anchoring on proper
supports allows us to increase the range of wavelengths that may be
exploited for photocatalysis.

Abstract
Although progress has been made to improve photocatalytic CO2 reduction under visible light (λ>400 nm), the development of photocatalysts that can work under a longer wavelength (λ>600 nm) remains a challenge. Now, a heterogeneous photocatalyst system consisting of a ruthenium complex and a monolayer nickel-alumina layered double hydroxide (NiAl-LDH), which act as light-harvesting and catalytic units for selective photoreduction of CO2 and H2 O into CH4 and CO under irradiation with λ>400 nm. By precisely tuning the irradiation wavelength, the selectivity of CH4 can be improved to 70.3 %, and the H2 evolution reaction can be completely suppressed under irradiation with λ>600 nm. The photogenerated electrons matching the energy levels of photosensitizer and m-NiAl-LDH only localized at the defect state, providing a driving force of 0.313 eV to overcome the Gibbs free energy barrier of CO2 reduction to CH4 (0.127 eV), rather than that for H2 evolution (0.425 eV).

Abstract
CO2 reduction to carbon feedstocks using heterogeneous photocatalysts is an attractive means of addressing both climate change and the depletion of fossil fuels. Of particular importance is the development of a photosystem capable of functioning in response to visible light, which accounts for the majority of the solar spectrum, representing a kind of artificial photosynthesis. Hybrid systems comprising a metal complex and a semiconductor are promising because of the excellent electrochemical (and/or photocatalytic) activity of metal complexes during CO2 reduction and the ability of semiconductors to efficiently oxidize water to molecular O2 . Here, the development of hybrid photocatalysts and photoelectrodes for CO2 reduction in combination with water oxidation is described.

Abstract
Photocatalytic or photoelectrochemical hydrogen production by water splitting is one of the key reactions for the development of an energy supply that enables a clean energy system for a future sustainable society. Utilization of solar photon energy for the uphill water splitting reaction is a promising technology, and therefore many systems using semiconductor photocatalysts and semiconductor photoelectrodes for the reaction producing hydrogen and dioxygen in a 2:1 stoichiometric ratio have been reported. In these systems, molecular catalysts are also considered to be feasible; recently, systems based on molecular catalysts conjugated with semiconductor photosensitizers have been used for photoinduced hydrogen generation by proton reduction. Additionally, there are reports that the so-called Z-scheme (two-step photoexcitation) mechanism realizes the solar-driven uphill reaction by overall water splitting. Although the number of these reports is still small compared to those of all-inorganic systems, the advantages of molecular cocatalysts and its immobilization on a semiconductor are attractive. This Minireview provides a brief overview of approaches and recent research progress toward molecular catalysts immobilized on semiconductor photocatalysts and photoelectrodes for solar-driven hydrogen production with the stoichiometric uphill reaction of hydrogen and oxygen generation.

Abstract
A Ru(II)-Re(I) supramolecular photocatalyst and a Ru(II) redox photosensitizer were both deposited successfully on a NiO electrode by using methyl phosphonic acid anchoring groups and the electrochemical polymerization of the ligand vinyl groups of the complexes. This new molecular photocathode, poly-RuRe/NiO, adsorbed a larger amount of the metal complexes compared to one using only methyl phosphonic acid anchor groups, and the stability of the complexes on the NiO electrode were much improved. The poly-RuRe/NiO acted as a photocathode for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 at E = -0.7 V vs Ag/AgCl under visible-light irradiation in an aqueous solution. The poly-RuRe/NiO produced approximately 2.5 times more CO, and its total Faradaic efficiency of the reduction products improved from 57 to 85%.
