Abstract

Converting CO2 into hydrocarbons using solar energy enables the seamless integration of efficient solar energy utilization and carbon neutrality, presenting an efficacious solution to simultaneously tackle energy and environmental issues. However, challenges arise in controlling the selectivity of reduction products hinder its industrial application due to uncertainties in decisive factors. Given the complexity of the photocatalytic process, it is imperative to improve the understanding of the thermodynamic aspects (including consideration of both redox potential of photocatalysts and light absorption properties, activation of stable CO2 molecules, similarity in reduction potential of products) as well as…
