Abstract
Abstract Enormous efforts have been devoted to the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) by utilizing various driving forces, such as heat, electricity, and radiation. However, the efficient reduction of CO 2 is still challenging because of sluggish kinetics. Recent pioneering studies from several groups, including us, have demonstrated that the coupling of solar energy and thermal energy offers a novel and promising strategy to promote the activity and/or manipulate selectivity in CO 2 reduction. Herein, we clarify the definition and principles of coupling solar energy and thermal energy, and comprehensively review the status and prospects of CO 2 reduction by coupling solar energy and thermal energy.
