Asymmetric Atomic Dual‐Sites for Photocatalytic CO 2 Reduction
University of Hong Kong · Chinese University of Hong Kong
Abstract
Abstract Atomically dispersed active sites in a photocatalyst offer unique advantages such as locally tuned electronic structures, quantum size effects, and maximum utilization of atomic species. Among these, asymmetric atomic dual‐sites are of particular interest because their asymmetric charge distribution generates a local built‐in electric potential to enhance charge separation and transfer. Moreover, the dual sites provide flexibility for tuning complex multielectron and multireaction pathways, such as CO 2 reduction reactions. The coordination of dual sites opens new possibilities for engineering the structure–activity–selectivity relationship. This comprehensive overview discusses efficient and…
