Abstract
Reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction is an intriguing strategy to realize carbon neutrality, however, the endothermic process usually needs high temperature that supplied by non-renewable fossil fuels, resulting in secondary energy and environmental issues. Photothermal catalysis are ideal substitutes for the conventional thermal catalysis, providing that high reaction efficiency is achievable. Two-dimensional (2D) materials are highly active as RWGS catalysts, however, their industrial application is restricted by the preparation cost. In this study, a series of 2D Co-based catalysts for photothermal RWGS reaction with tunable selectivity were prepared by self-assembly method based on cheap amylum, by integrating the 2D catalysts with our homemade photothermal device, sunlight driven efficient RWGS reaction was realized. The prepared 2D Co0.5Ce0.5Oxexhibited a full selectivity toward CO (100%) and could be heated to 318 °C under 1 kW m-2irradiation with the CO generation rate of 14.48 mmol g-1h-1, pointing out a cheap and universal method to prepare 2D materials, and zero consumption CO generation from photothermal RWGS reaction.

Abstract
The development of an efficient noble-metal-free cocatalyst is the key to photocatalytic hydrogen production technology. In this study, hierarchical Co(OH)2 nanosheet array-graphene (GR) composite cocatalysts are developed. With Eosin Y (EY) as a photosensitizer, the optimal Co(OH)2-10%GR hybrid cocatalyst presents excellent photocatalytic activity with an H2 production rate of 17 539 μmol g-1 h-1, and the apparent quantum yield for hydrogen production can reach 12.8% at 520 nm, which remarkably surpasses that of pure Co(OH)2 and most similar hybrid cocatalyst systems. Experimental investigations demonstrate that the excellent photocatalytic activity of Co(OH)2-GR arises from its unique nanosheet array architecture, which can collaboratively expose rich active sites for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and facilitate the migration and separation of photogenerated charge carriers. It is desired that this study would supply a meaningful direction for the rational optimization of the constitute and structure of cocatalysts to achieve efficient photocatalytic hydrogen generation.

Abstract
Despite enormous progress and improvement in photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR), the development of photocatalysts that suppress H2 evolution reaction (HER), during CO2 RR, remains still a challenge. Here, new insight is presented for controllable CO2 RR selectivity by tuning the architecture of the photocatalyst. Au/carbon nitride with planar structure (p Au/CN) showed high activity for HER with 87% selectivity. In contrast, the same composition with a yolk@shell structure (Y@S Au@CN) exhibited high selectivity of carbon products by suppressing the HER to 26% under visible light irradiation. Further improvement for CO2 RR activity was achieved by a surface decoration of the yolk@shell structure with Au25 (PET)18 clusters as favorable electron acceptors, resulting in longer charge separation in Au@CN/Auc Y@S structure. Finally, by covering the structure with graphene layers, the designed catalyst maintained high photostability during light illumination and showed high photocatalytic efficiency. The optimized Au@CN/Auc /G Y@S structure displays high photocatalytic CO2 RR selectivity of 88%, where the CO and CH4 generations during 8 h are 494 and 198 µmol/gcat., respectively. This approach combining architecture engineering and composition modification provides a new strategy with improved activity and controllable selectivity toward targeting applications in energy conversion catalysis.

Abstract
Photocatalysis, as an inexpensive and safe technology to convert solar energy, is essential for the efficient utilization of sustainable renewable energy sources. Earth-abundant cobalt sulfide-based composites have generated great interest in the field of solar fuel conversion because of their cheap, diverse structures and facile preparation. Over the past 10 years, the number of reports on cobalt sulfide-based photocatalysts has increased year by year, and more than 500 publications on the application of cobalt sulfide groups in photocatalysis can be found in the last three years. In this review, we initially summarize the four common strategies for preparing cobalt sulfide-based composite materials. Then, the multiple roles of cobalt sulfide-based cocatalysts in photocatalysis have been discussed. After that, we present the latest progress of cobalt sulfide in four fields of photocatalysis application, including photocatalytic hydrogen production, carbon dioxide reduction, nitrogen fixation, and photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. Finally, the development prospects and challenges of cobalt sulfide-based photocatalysts are discussed. This review is expected to provide useful reference for the construction of high-performance cobalt sulfide-based composite photocatalytic materials for sustainable solar-chemical energy conversion.

Abstract
Direct photocatalytic reduction of CO2 has become an highly active field of research. It is thus of utmost importance to maintain an overview of the various materials used to sustain this process, find common trends, and, in this way, eventually improve the current conversions and selectivities. In particular, CO2 photoreduction using plasmonic photocatalysts under solar light has gained tremendous attention, and a wide variety of materials has been developed to reduce CO2 towards more practical gases or liquid fuels (CH4 , CO, CH3 OH/CH3 CH2 OH) in this manner. This Review therefore aims at providing insights in current developments of photocatalysts consisting of only plasmonic nanoparticles and semiconductor materials. By classifying recent studies based on product selectivity, this Review aims to unravel common trends that can provide effective information on ways to improve the photoreduction yield or possible means to shift the selectivity towards desired products, thus generating new ideas for the way forward.

Abstract
The ineptitude of conventional water management systems to eradicate noxious compounds leads to the development of advanced treatment systems. The disclosure of graphene-based photocatalytic degradation for the eradication of phenolic compounds has become the "apple of the eye" for many researchers. This review article describes the advanced research progress during the period of 2008-2021 in graphene-based nanocomposites and discusses their different synthesis methods. We will also talk about the applications of nanocomposite in water splitting, dye degradation, solar fuel generations, and organic transformations. Multicomponent heterojunction structure, co-catalyst cohering, and noble metal coupling have been inspected to enhance the photocatalytic performance of graphene-based composite by increasing charge separation and stability. The photocatalytic system's remarkable stability has been described in terms of facile recyclability. The adsorption ability of phenolic compounds has been addressed in the form of Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm with various factors (pH, concentration, the intensity of light, the effect of catalyst, the effect of time, etc.). The purpose of this review is to survey mechanisms and processes that enlist graphene-based composite in terms of efficacy and dose of catalyst required to attain 99% degradation. Nanoparticles may cause toxicity and a pretext for their toxicity has been mentioned. Finally, it is anticipated that this article could allocate consequential knowledge to fabricating graphene-based composites that are in crucial demand of being discussed in future research.

Abstract
Splitting of water with the help of photocatalysts has gained a strong interest in the scientific community for producing clean energy, thus requiring novel semiconductor materials to achieve high-yield hydrogen production. The emergence of 2D nanoscale materials with remarkable electronic and optical properties has received much attention in this field. Owing to the recent developments in high-end computation and advanced electronic structure theories, first principles studies offer powerful tools to screen photocatalytic systems reliably and efficiently. This review is organized to highlight the essential properties of 2D photocatalysts and the recent advances in the theoretical engineering of 2D materials for the improvement in photocatalytic overall water-splitting. The advancement in the strategies including (i) single-atom catalysts, (ii) defect engineering, (iii) strain engineering, (iv) Janus structures, (v) type-II heterostructures (vi) Z-scheme heterostructures (vii) multilayer configurations (viii) edge-modification in nanoribbons and (ix) the effect of pH in overall water-splitting are summarized to improve the existing problems for a photocatalytic catalytic reaction such as overcoming large overpotential to trigger the water-splitting reactions without using cocatalysts. This review could serve as a bridge between theoretical and experimental research on next-generation 2D photocatalysts.

Abstract
Construction of photocatalytic systems with spatially separated dual cocatalysts is considered as a promising route to modulate charge separation/transfer, promote surface redox reactivities, and prevent unwanted reverse reactions. However, past efforts on the loading of spatially separated double-cocatalysts are limited to hollow structured semiconductors with inner/outer surface and monocrystalline semiconductors with different exposed facets. To overcome this limitation, herein, enabled by a unique stacked photocatalyst design, a facile and versatile strategy for spatial separation of redox cocatalysts on various semiconductors without structural and morphological restriction is demonstrated. The smart design begins with the deposition of light-harvesting semiconductors on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets, followed with the coverage of Ni(OH)2 outer layer. The ternary photocatalysts exhibit superior activities and stabilities of H2 O oxidation and selective CO2 -to-CO reduction, remarkably surpassing other counterparts. The origin of the enhanced performance is attributed to the synergistic interplay of rGO@Ni(OH)2 reduction cocatalysts surrounding the semiconductors and Ni(OH)2 oxidation cocatalysts directly supported by the semiconductors, which mitigates the charge recombination, supplies highly active and selective sites for overall reactions, and preserves the semiconductors from photocorrosion. This work presents a new approach to regulating the position of dual cocatalysts and ameliorating the net efficiency of photoredox catalysis.

Abstract
Pyrolysis of chitosan containing various loadings of Co and Fe renders Co-Fe alloy nanoparticles supported on N-doped graphitic carbon. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images show that the surface of Co-Fe NPs is partially covered by three or four graphene layers. These Co-Fe@(N)C samples catalyze the Sabatier CO2 hydrogenation, increasing the activity and CH4 selectivity with the reaction temperature in the range of 300-500 °C. Under optimal conditions, a CH4 selectivity of 91% at an 87% CO2 conversion was reached at 500 °C and a space velocity of 75 h-1 under 10 bar. The Co-Fe alloy nanoparticles supported on N-doped graphitic carbon are remarkably stable and behave differently as an analogous Co-Fe catalyst supported on TiO2.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) has been widely utilized as the precursor of graphene (GR) to fabricate GR-based hybrid photocatalysts for solar-to-chemical energy conversion. However, until now, the properties and roles that GO played in heterogeneous photocatalysis have remained relatively elusive. In this Review, we start with a brief discussion of synthesis and structure of GO. Then, the photocatalysis-related properties of GO, including electrical conductivity, surface chemistry, dispersibility, and semiconductor properties, are concisely summarized. In particular, we have highlighted the fundamental multifaceted roles of GO in heterogeneous photocatalysis, which contain the precursor of GR, cross-linked framework for constructing aerogel photocatalyst, macromolecular surfactant, two-dimensional growth template, and photocatalyst by itself. Furthermore, the future prospects and remaining challenges on developing effective GO-derived hybrid photocatalysts are presented, which is expected to inspire further research into this promising research domain.

Abstract
The continuous rise in plastic waste raises serious concerns about the ensuing effects on the pollution of global environment and loss of valuable resources. Developing efficient approach to recycle the plastic has been an urgent demand for realizing a sustainable circular economy. Photocatalytic valorization directly utilizes solar energy to transform plastic pollutant into chemicals and fuels, which is hardly implemented by traditional mechanical recycling and incineration strategies, thus offering a promising approach to address the contemporary waste and energy challenges. Here, we focus on the recent advances in the high-value utilization of plastic waste through photocatalysis. The basic principle and different reaction pathways for the photocatalytic valorization of plastic waste are presented. Then, the developed representative photocatalyst systems and converted products are elaborately discussed. At last, the review closes with critical thoughts on research challenges along with some perspectives for further development of this emerging and fascinating filed.

Enhancement of photocatalytic by Mn3O4 spinel ferrite decorated graphene oxide nanocomposites. SN APPLIED SCIENCES 2021.

Abstract
Abstract
The hydrothermal process was used to prepare Mn3O4/x%GO nanocomposites (NC’s) having different ratios of the Mn3O4 nanoparticles (NP’s) on the surface of graphene oxide (GO) sheet. SEM image showed that the Mn3O4 NP’s were distributed over the surface of GO sheet. HRTEM images exhibited the lattice fringe arising from the (101) plane of the Mn3O4 NP’s having the interplanar d-spacing of 0.49 nm decorating on the surface of GO. The electronic absorption spectra of Mn3O4/x%GO NC’s also show broad bands from 250 to 550 nm. These bands arise from the d–d crystal field transitions of the tetrahedral Mn3+ species and indicate a distortion in the crystal structure. Photo-catalytic activity of spinel ferrite Mn3O4 NP’s by themselves was low but photo-catalytic activity is enhanced when the NP’s are decorating the GO sheet. Moreover, the Mn3O4/10%GO NC’s showed the best photo-catalytic activity. This result comes from the formation of Mn–O–C bond that confirm by FT-IR. This bond would facilitate the transfer of the photoelectrons from the surfaces of the NP’s to the GO sheets. PL emission which is in the violet–red luminescent region shows the creation of defects in the fabricated Mn3O4 NP’s nanostructures. These defects create the defect states to which electrons in the VB can be excited to when the CB. The best degradation efficiency was achieved by the Mn3O4 NP’s when they were used to decorate the GO sheets in the Mn3O4/10%GO NC’s solution.
Highlights
Lattice fringe of Mn3O4 with an interplanar d-spacing of 0.49 nm for (101) plane.
Photocatalytic activity of spinel ferrite Mn3O4 nanoparticles by itself is low.
Number of photoelectrons created depends on number of Mn3O4 on a given area of GO
The bonding of the Mn3O4 to the GO sheet would be though a Mn–O–C junction.
The degradation processes were accelerated by Mn3O4/10%GO nanocomposites

Abstract
Efficient and selective production of CH4 through the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is a challenging task due to the high amount of energy consumption and various reaction pathways. Here, we report the synthesis of Zn-based polyoxometalate (ZnPOM) and its application in the photocatalytic CO2RR. Unlike conventional Zn-based catalysts that produce CO, ZnPOM can selectively catalyze the production of CH4 in the presence of an Ir-based photosensitizer (TIr3) through the photocatalytic CO2RR. Photophysical and computation analyses suggest that selective photocatalytic production of CH4 using ZnPOM and TIr3 can be attributed to (1) the exceptionally fast transfer of photogenerated electrons from TIr3 to ZnPOM through the strong molecular interactions between them and (2) effective transfer of electrons from ZnPOM to *CO intermediates due to significant hybridization of their molecular orbitals. This study provides insights into the design of novel CO2RR catalysts for CH4 production beyond the limitations in conventional studies that focus on Cu-based materials.

Abstract
Solving energy and environmental problems through solar-driven photocatalysis is an attractive and challenging topic. Hence, various types of photocatalysts have been developed successively to address the demands of photocatalysis. Graphene-based materials have elicited considerable attention since the discovery of graphene. As a derivative of graphene, nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) particularly stands out. Nitrogen atoms can break the undifferentiated structure of graphene and open the bandgap while endowing graphene with an uneven electron density distribution. Therefore, NG retains nearly all the advantages of original graphene and is equipped with several novel properties, ensuring infinite possibilities for NG-based photocatalysis. This review introduces the atomic and band structures of NG, summarizes in situ and ex situ synthesis methods, highlights the mechanism and advantages of NG in photocatalysis, and outlines its applications in different photocatalysis directions (primarily hydrogen production, CO2 reduction, pollutant degradation, and as photoactive ingredient). Lastly, the central challenges and possible improvements of NG-based photocatalysis in the future are presented. This study is expected to learn from the past and achieve progress toward the future for NG-based photocatalysis.

Abstract
Photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into fuels and valuable chemicals using solar energy is a promising technology to combat climate change and meet the growing energy demand. Extensive effort is going on for the development of a photocatalyst with desirable optical, surface and electronic properties. This review article discusses recent development in the field of photocatalytic CO2 conversion using defective TiO2. It specifically focuses on the different synthesis methodologies adapted to generate the defects and their impact on the chemical, optical and surface properties of TiO2 and, thus, photocatalytic CO2 conversion. It also encompasses theoretical investigations performed to understand the role of defects in adsorption and activation of CO2 and identify the mechanistic pathway which governs the formation and selectivity of different products. It is divided into three parts: (i) general mechanism and thermodynamic criteria for defective TiO2 catalyzed CO2 conversion, (ii) theoretical investigation on the role of defects in the CO2 adsorption-activation and mechanism responsible for the formation and selectivity of different products, and (iii) the effect of variation of physicochemical properties of defective TiO2 synthesized using different methods on the photocatalytic conversion of CO2. The review also discusses the limitations and the challenges of defective TiO2 photocatalysts that need to be overcome for the production of sustainable fuel utilizing solar energy.

Abstract
The performance of transition metal hydroxides, as cocatalysts for CO2 photoreduction, is significantly limited by their inherent weaknesses of poor conductivity and stacked structure. Herein, we report the rational assembly of a series of transition metal hydroxides on graphene to act as a cocatalyst ensemble for efficient CO2 photoreduction. In particular, with the Ru-dye as visible light photosensitizer, hierarchical Ni(OH)2 nanosheet arrays-graphene (Ni(OH)2-GR) composites exhibit superior photoactivity and selectivity, which remarkably surpass other counterparts and most of analogous hybrid photocatalyst system. The origin of such superior performance of Ni(OH)2-GR is attributed to its appropriate synergy on the enhanced adsorption of CO2, increased active sites for CO2 reduction and improved charge carriers separation/transfer. This work is anticipated to spur rationally designing efficient earth-abundant transition metal hydroxides-based cocatalysts on graphene and other two-dimension platforms for artificial reduction of CO2 to solar chemicals and fuels. The development of effective, earth-abundant cocatalysts is critical for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Here, authors report the assembly of transition metal hydroxides on graphene to act as cocatalyst ensembles for efficient CO2 photoreduction.

Solar-driven carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion to fuels and high-value chemicals can contribute to the better utilization of renewable energy sources. Photosynthetic (PS), photocatalytic (PC), photoelectrochemical (PEC), and photovoltaic plus electrochemical (PV+EC) approaches are intensively studied strategies. We aimed to compare the performance of these approaches using unified metrics and to highlight representative studies with outstanding performance in a given aspect. Most importantly, a statistical analysis was carried out to compare the differences in activity, selectivity, and durability of the various approaches, and the underlying causes are discussed in detail. Several interesting trends were found: (i) Only the minority of the studies present comprehensive metrics. (ii) The CO2 reduction products and their relative amount vary across the different approaches. (iii) Only the PV+EC approach is likely to lead to industrial technologies in the midterm future. Last, a brief perspective on new directions is given to stimulate discussion and future research activity.

Abstract
CO2 emissions from the consumption of fossil fuels are continuously increasing, thus impacting Earth’s climate. In this context, intensive research efforts are being dedicated to develop materials that can effectively reduce CO2 levels in the atmosphere and convert CO2 into value-added chemicals and fuels, thus contributing to sustainable energy and meeting the increase in energy demand. The development of clean energy by conversion technologies is of high priority to circumvent these challenges. Among the various methods that include photoelectrochemical, high-temperature conversion, electrocatalytic, biocatalytic, and organocatalytic reactions, photocatalytic CO2 reduction has received great attention because of its potential to efficiently reduce the level of CO2 in the atmosphere by converting it into fuels and value-added chemicals. Among the reported CO2 conversion catalysts, perovskite oxides catalyze redox reactions and exhibit high catalytic activity, stability, long charge diffusion lengths, compositional flexibility, and tunable band gap and band edge. This review focuses on recent advances and future prospects in the design and performance of perovskites for CO2 conversion, particularly emphasizing on the structure of the catalysts, defect engineering and interface tuning at the nanoscale, and conversion technologies and rational approaches for enhancing CO2 transformation to value-added chemicals and chemical feedstocks.

Abstract
Visible-light-driven photocatalytic CO2 reduction using TiO2 that can absorb light of all wavelengths has been sought for over half a century. Herein, we report a phase-selective disordered anatase/ordered rutile interface system for visible-light-driven, metal-free CO2 reduction using a narrow band structure, whose conduction band position matches well with the reduction potential of CO2 to CH4 and CO. A mixed disordered anatase/ordered rutile (Ad/Ro) TiO2 was prepared from anatase and rutile phase-mixed P25 TiO2 at room temperature and under an ambient atmosphere in sodium alkyl amine solutions. The Ad/Ro TiO2 showed a narrow band structure due to multi-internal energy band gaps of Ti3+ defect sites in the disordered anatase phase, leading to high visible light absorption and simultaneously providing fast charge separation through the crystalline rutile phase, which was faster than that of pristine P25 TiO2. The band gap of Ad/Ro TiO2 is 2.62 eV with a conduction band of -0.27 eV, which matches well with the reduction potential of -0.24 VNHE of CO2/CH4, leading to effective electron transfer to CO2. As a result, the Ad/Ro TiO2 provided the highest CH4 production (3.983 μmol/(g h)), which is higher than that of even metal (W, Ru, Ag, and Pt)-doped P25, for CO2 reduction under visible light.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction is an effective way to simultaneously mitigate the greenhouse effect and the energy crisis. Herein, CdS hollow spheres, on which monolayer nitrogen-doped graphene is in situ grown by chemical vapor deposition, are applied for realizing effective photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The constructed photocatalyst possesses a hollow interior for strengthening light absorption, a thin shell for shortening the electron migration distance, tight adhesion for facilitating separation and transfer of carriers, and a monolayer nitrogen-doped graphene surface for adsorbing and activating CO2 molecules. Achieving seamless contact between a photocatalyst and a cocatalyst, which provides a pollution-free and large-area transport interface for carriers, is an effective strategy for improving the photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance. Therefore, the yield of CO and CH4 , as dominating products, can be increased by four and five times than that of pristine CdS hollow spheres, respectively. This work emphasizes the importance of contact interface regulation between the photocatalyst and the cocatalyst and provides new ideas for the seamless and large-area contact of heterojunctions.

Abstract
Methane, which has a high energy storage density and is safely stored and transported in our existing infrastructure, can be produced through conversion of the undesired energy carrier H2 with CO2. Methane production with standard transition-metal catalysts requires high-temperature activation (300-500 °C). Alternatively, semiconductor metal oxide photocatalysts can be used, but they require high-intensity UV light. Here, we report a Ru metal catalyst that facilitates methanation below 250 °C using sunlight as an energy source. Although at low solar intensity (1 sun) the activity of the Ru catalyst is mainly attributed to thermal effects, we identified a large nonthermal contribution at slightly elevated intensities (5.7 and 8.5 sun) resulting in a high photon-to-methane efficiency of up to 55% over the whole solar spectrum. We attribute the excellent sunlight-harvesting ability of the catalyst and the high photon-to-methane efficiency to its UV-vis-NIR plasmonic absorption. Our highly efficient conversion of H2 to methane is a promising technology to simultaneously accelerate the energy transition and reduce CO2 emissions.

Abstract
This work aims to provide an overview of producing value-added products affordably and sustainably from greenhouse gases (GHGs). Methanol (MeOH) is one such product, and is one of the most widely used chemicals, employed as a feedstock for ≈30% of industrial chemicals. The starting materials are analogous to those feeding natural processes: water, CO2, and light. Innovative technologies from this effort have global significance, as they allow GHG recycling, while providing society with a renewable carbon feedstock. Light, in the form of solar energy, assists the production process in some capacity. Various solar strategies of continually increasing technology readiness levels are compared to the commercial MeOH process, which uses a syngas feed derived from natural gas. These strategies include several key technologies, including solar-thermochemical, photochemical, and photovoltaic-electrochemical. Other solar-assisted technologies that are not yet commercial-ready are also discussed. The commercial-ready technologies are compared using a technoeconomic analysis, and the scalability of solar reactors is also discussed in the context of light-incorporating catalyst architectures and designs. Finally, how MeOH compares against other prospective products is briefly discussed, as well as the viability of the most promising solar MeOH strategy in an international context.

Abstract
Photocatalytic reduction of CO2 using solar energy to decrease CO2 emission is a promising clean renewable fuel production technology. Recently, Bi-based semiconductors with excellent photocatalytic activity and carbon-based carriers with large specific surface areas and strong CO2 adsorption capacity have attracted extensive attention. In this study, activated carbon spheres (ACSs) were obtained via carbonization and steam activation of phenolic resin-based carbon spheres at 850 °C synthesized by suspension polymerization. Then, the BiOBr/ACSs sample was successfully prepared via a simple impregnation method. The as-prepared samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDX, DRS, PL, EIS, XPS, BET, CO2 adsorption isotherm and CO2-TPD. The BiOBr and BiOBr/ACSs samples exhibited high CO selectivity for photocatalytic CO2 reduction, and BiOBr/ACSs achieved a rather higher photocatalytic activity (23.74 μmol g−1 h−1) than BiOBr (2.39 μmol g−1 h−1) under simulated sunlight irradiation. Moreover, the analysis of the obtained results indicates that in this photocatalyst system, due to their higher micropore surface area and larger micropore volume, ACSs provide enough physical adsorption sites for CO2 adsorption, and the intrinsic structure of ACSs can offer effective electron transfer ability for a fast and efficient separation of photo-induced electron–hole pairs. Finally, a possible enhanced photocatalytic mechanism of BiOBr/ACSs was investigated and proposed. Our findings should provide new and important research ideas for the construction of highly efficient photocatalyst systems for the reduction of CO2 to solar fuels and chemicals. Photocatalytic reduction of CO2 using solar energy to decrease CO2 emission is a promising clean renewable fuel production technology.![]()

Abstract
Photoreduction of CO2 into fuel molecules such as CH4 represents a promising route to simultaneously explore renewable energy and alleviate global warming. However, the implementation of such a process is hampered by low product yields and poor selectivity. A 2D/2D heterojunction of ultrathin SiC and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheets was fabricated in situ for efficient and selective photoreduction of CO2 . Ultrathin SiC suppresses significant charge recombination in the bulk phase, thus providing more energetic electrons. The robust 2D/2D heterojunction allows fast transfer of energetic electrons from SiC to RGO. Combining the vital role of RGO in facilitating CO2 activation, the optimized SiC/RGO exhibits an electron-transfer rate of 58.17 μmol h-1 g-1 towards CO2 reduction, 2.7 times that of pure SiC (20.25 μmol h-1 g-1 ). About 92 % of the transferred electrons from SiC are devoted to generating CH4 (6.72 μmol h-1 g-1 ). Such high efficiency and selectivity are mainly a result of the densely accumulated energetic electrons within RGO, which facilitate the eight-electron process to produce CH4 . This work will inspire the design of catalyst/cocatalyst systems for efficient and selective photoreduction of CO2 .

Sustainable Recovery of CO2 by Using Visible-Light-Responsive Crystal Cuprous Oxide/Reduced Graphene Oxide. SUSTAINABILITY 2018.

Abstract
A simple solution-chemistry method has been investigated to prepare crystal cuprous oxide (Cu2O) incorporated with reduced graphene oxide (designated as Cu2O-rGO-x, where x represents the contents of rGO = 1%, 5% and 10%) in this work. These Cu2O-rGO-x composites combine the prospective advantages of rhombic dodecahedra Cu2O together with rGO nanosheets which have been studied as visible-light-sensitive catalysts for the photocatalytic production of methanol from CO2. Among the Cu2O-rGO-x photocatalysts, the methanol yield photocatalyzed by Cu2O-rGO-5% can be observed to be 355.26 μmol g−1cat, which is ca. 36 times higher than that of pristine Cu2O nanocrystal in the 20th hour under visible light irradiation. The improved activity may be attributed to the enhanced absorption ability of visible light, the superior separation of electron–hole pairs, well-dispersed Cu2O nanocrystals and the increased photostability of Cu2O, which are evidenced by employing UV-vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy, photoluminescence, scanning electron microscopy/transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. This work demonstrates an easy and cost-effective route to prepare non-noble photocatalysts for efficient CO2 recovery in artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
Utilization of diffusive solar energy through photocatalytic processes for environmental purification and fuel production has long been pursued. However, efficient capture of visible-near-infrared (NIR) photons, especially for those with wavelengths longer than 600 nm, is a demanding quest in photocatalysis owing to their relatively low energy. In recent years, benefiting from the advances in photoactive material design, photocatalytic reaction system optimization, and new emerging mechanisms for long-wavelength photon activation, increasing numbers of studies on the harnessing of visible-NIR light for solar-to-chemical energy conversion have been reported. Here, the aim is to comprehensively summarize the progress in this area. The main strategies of the long-wavelength visible-NIR photon capture and the explicitly engineered material systems, i.e., narrow optical gap, photosensitizers, upconversion, and photothermal materials, are elaborated. In addition, the advances in long-wavelength light-driven photo- and photothermal-catalytic environmental remediation and fuel production are discussed. It is anticipated that this review presents the forefront achievements in visible-NIR photon capture and at the same time promotes the development of novel visible-NIR photon harnessing catalysts toward efficient solar energy utilization.
