Photocatalytic CO 2 Reduction to C2+ Products

There is a considerable interest in the development of photocatalytic CO2 conversion by sunlight, since this process has similarities with natural photosynthesis on which life on Earth is based. At the moment, most of the efforts in this field have been aimed at increasing the productivity, rather than at the control of the product distribution. Particularly, compounds with two or more carbons (C2+) have higher added value than methane, carbon monoxide, or formate, which are typically the major products of CO2 reduction. This review focuses on those reports that have described the formation of compounds of two or more carbon atoms (C2+) in the photocatalytic CO2 reduction either by H2O or as H2 as a source of…
