Abstract
Abstract As one of the most critical approaches to resolve the energy crisis and environmental concerns, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) photoreduction into value‐added chemicals and solar fuels (for example, CO, HCOOH, CH 3 OH, CH 4 ) has attracted more and more attention. In nature, photosynthetic organisms effectively convert CO 2 and H 2 O to carbohydrates and oxygen (O 2 ) using sunlight, which has inspired the development of low‐cost, stable, and effective artificial photocatalysts for CO 2 photoreduction. Due to their low cost, facile synthesis, excellent light harvesting, multiple exciton generation, feasible charge‐carrier regulation, and abundant surface sites, semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have recently…
