Advanced nanomaterials for highly efficient CO2 photoreduction and photocatalytic hydrogen evolution
At present, CO2 photoreduction to value-added chemicals/fuels and photocatalytic hydrogen generation by water splitting are the most promising reactions to fix two main issues simultaneously, rising CO2 levels and never-lasting energy demand. CO2, a major contributor to greenhouse gases (GHGs) with...

At present, CO2 photoreduction to value-added chemicals/fuels and photocatalytic hydrogen generation by water splitting are the most promising reactions to fix two main issues simultaneously, rising CO2 levels and never-lasting energy demand. CO2, a major contributor to greenhouse gases (GHGs) with about 65% of the total emission, is known to cause adverse effects like global temperature change, ocean acidification, greenhouse effects, etc. The idea of CO2 capture and its conversion to hydrocarbons can control the further rise of CO2 levels and help in producing alternative fuels that have several further applications. On the other hand, hydrogen being a zero-emission fuel is considered as a clean and sustainable form of energy that holds great promise for various industrial applications. The current review focuses on the discussion of the recent progress made in designing efficient photocatalytic materials for CO2 photoreduction and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The scope of the current study is limited to the TiO2 and non-TiO2 based advanced nanomaterials (i.e. metal chalcogenides, MOFs, carbon nitrides, single-atom catalysts, and low-dimensional nanomaterials).
